Ep 29 I Mr. Beast & The Future Of Giving
Description
Winter finally showed up in Israel, and Bini and Raimy used that as the perfect excuse to have a big question conversation.
Bini brings a headline that feels almost unreal: MrBeast and the Rockefeller Foundation teaming up. A Gen Z phenomenon and the most old-school foundation.
They dig into whether philanthropy is ready for disruption, what disruption even means in this space, and what real nonprofits should take from huge examples like this.
They talk about creators and micro influencers, trust and attention, donation pages as a major disruptor, and how technology keeps changing what donors expect. They also wrestle with the tension between foundations wanting more data and nonprofits just trying to do the work without drowning in reporting.
When they recorded this episode, they were thinking of those of you who feel overwhelmed by new tools, new platforms, and a new generation of donors.
They end with practical advice: name your actual problems, avoid shiny object chasing, and stay curious, because the next big idea might come from a place you would normally dismiss.
