GENEROUS.LIFE SAN ANTONIO
San Antonio, tx
The heart and soul of the Generous.Life San Antonio movement embodies a decades-long vision to successfully transfer the generous hearts of this community intergenerationally to the next generation—approaching philanthropy and community engagement with a steward mindset. Our events aim to transcend the transactional nature of philanthropy and amplify the impact we can have in our community and around the world. Our events are not fundraisers. They are a source of inspiration and encouragement—within community—to meet each person where they are and multiply our collective generosity.
Upcoming Events
All events are inspiring, educational, and safe from solicitation. We host 4-6 per year and encourage you to add the live events to your calendar. We look forward to seeing you!
