In my latest #FinanceFriday, I had the pleasure of speaking with Joshua E. Chadajo, founder and CEO of JEC Philanthropy. With over 25 years in nonprofit leadership and a track record of raising more than $100 million in charitable donations, Joshua brings unmatched insight into the art and strategy of giving.
In our conversation, we explored what truly motivates people to give, how to align charitable donations with personal values, and the importance of clear goals in philanthropy. Joshua shared his unique approach to helping individuals and families maximize the impact of their giving—whether that means supporting a cause close to the heart or creating a lasting legacy.
Drawing from his experience as the longest-serving Executive Director, North America, at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, Joshua discussed the balance between relationship-building and strategic planning, and why transparency and authenticity are key to fostering trust with donors.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make your giving more purposeful and effective, this episode is full of actionable insights from someone who has dedicated his career to helping others make a meaningful difference.
