They discuss the work that Meals on Wheels across the country does, not only feeding those in need but also providing other services such as job training, helping with clothing, and other assistance programs. They finish the conversation discussing the importance of volunteering and how anyone from someone with just a few minutes to members of a famous band can give back

On this episode of Giving Intelligence, Mitchell talks to Carly Basile from Experience Camp, a national non-profit that transforms the lives of grieving children through summer camp programs and innovative, year-round initiatives. We discuss how approximately six million children in the U.S. will experience the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver by the time they turn 18 and how Experience Camp allows these children to learn to grieve among their peers. We delve into their work with these children and Carly’s history with the camp. We go on to talk about the importance of matching gifts and the various ways they help Experience Camp and other worthy organizations.

On this episode of Giving Intelligence I sit down with Evan Rahman of Khan Academy. We discuss Khan Academy’s mission to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Evan shared the mastery learning approach used by Khan Academy, and how it’s used both as a supplement to classroom learning and a self-learning tool. She also shares their recent integration of AI to help student learners. We discuss ways that matching gifts can help make an enormous difference when used by individuals or organizations and within families.
