ROI Driven Philanthropy with Mark Gerson

ROI Driven Philanthropy with Mark Gerson

What if you approached philanthropy like a startup? The results might shock you and completely rewire how you think about giving.

I sit down with Mark Gerson, Cofounder of GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group) and Cofounder and Chair of 3i Members, to dive deep into how you can treat generosity like a capital allocation decision. We unpack a framework for ROI-driven giving that prioritizes measurable impact over emotional check-writing.

Whether you give already or you’re just starting to think about it, this is a practical, purpose-driven guide to doing the most good in a faster and smarter way

Special thanks to Mark for joining me on the pod and for all the amazing work he does.
