Thompson & Associates’ Post

"I learned to treat every potential donor with their deserved respect. I gave up prejudging a person’s giving capacity or charitable intent by the car they drove or the house they lived in. Since those early days of pursuing apparent wealth, I’ve been surprised repeatedly, even shocked, at the generosity of instrumental materialists hiding in our midst." - Eddie Thompson https://lnkd.in/ep_2spWe #ceplan #philanthropy #nonprofits #charity #charitablegiving #plannedgiving #giftplanning #majorgiving #annualgiving #estateplanning #legacygiving #donors #charitableestateplanning #nonprofitdevelopment #advancement #donorstewardship

I'm not familiar with the term "instrumental materialism". Would you be willing to define/elaborate?
