Inspiring Philanthropy for All
Philanthropy translates to “love of humanity.”
Everyone has the potential and capacity to give of themselves in some way to love and serve one another. Contrary to popular belief, philanthropist is not a title reserved only for the wealthy.
The Uncommon Philanthropist unleashes the inner philanthropist in us all and the transformative experience of “let go” to give and serve people and causes in need.
The Uncommon Philanthropist is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and your favorite podcast platforms.

Photo of the blessing of Eliawinga, a widow, and her new home in Tanzania. We cried, we cheered, we danced, and drank soda in celebration. Special thanks to Ubora Tanzania for this moment and allowing the use of these photos. And to photographer Tim Pearson, an UP himself and founder of the nonprofit Just a Sling and a Stone.
