Event Details

Karen Ansara is a passionate advocate for increasing international giving.   Along with key partners, she is helping to organize New England International Donors (NEID), an informal network to encourage and support more givers to fund overseas.  When she and her husband Jim sold his construction business, they used a significant portion of the proceeds to set up the Ansara Family Fund at the Boston Foundation, focused on addressing global poverty.  Read her story.

Bold Conversations is a monthly phone discussion hosted by Anne Ellinger, co-founder of Bolder Giving in Extraordinary Times (www.boldergiving.org). Each month you can join the conversation with extraordinary givers who share strategies, challenges, and excitement about their giving.  See all events.

The format of each Bold Conversation is a 60 min. free teleconference call.  Anne and the featured guest will talk, and every 10-15 minutes there will be time for questions from listeners.  We aim for an informal, interactive, and frank discussion where listeners apply lessons to their own giving. You can listen to archived conversations and also join online chats with Bold Givers hosted by the Chronicle on Philanthropy.

Please join us

No matter what your level of giving or the causes you give to, you’ll gain nuggets of wisdom you can apply to your own situation, and be energized by Karen's warmth and enthusiasm.  Advisors who work with donors – please invite your donors to the call!  You are welcome to join as well, so long as you participate by applying the discussion to your personal giving. 

The contact information for joining the call will be provided by email following registration.

Episode 2: With Karen Ansara 

Our conversation with Karen will touch upon:

Giving Internationally 
What has Karen learned about giving internationally?  About working in effective and respectful partnerships?  About building the capacity of small grassroots groups?  What key lessons can she pass on?

Being Fulfilled 
How does she deal with the pain of seeing enormous poverty, knowing that her dollars are barely a drop in the bucket?  What is fulfilling about this work?  

Stepping Out to Encourage Others
Is it difficult to be public as a giver?  What have been the drawbacks and benefits of being visible like that?
