A game that takes generosity seriously.

A card-based educational gaming system for nonprofit teams. One hour of play, conversations that last a lot longer. One box makes you a Host inside a year-round peer learning network.

The network itself is always open. The boxes are not: 50 become available September 15–19, with another window in November and a Giving Tuesday giveaway on December 1.

What people say after one game.

Truly visionary. It makes scenario planning fun while building empathy and the ability to see things from different perspectives. Camaraderie and professional development in one exercise.

This is so needed in a world of the same professional development webinars and courses recycled over and over again.

Playing the game helps bring clarity and focus to specific issues our team faces. A fun and refreshing way to guide strategic conversations.

Peer learning

A one-time investment, a lifetime of learning.

Every Host gets the tools, the practice, and the people that make facilitating a conversation about generosity, identity, and trust feel genuinely doable. No subscription renewals, no annual fees—just a network that grows with you.

All of it lives at tools.generosityspectrum.org, free and open, whether you own a box yet or not.

The layer underneath it all

Ten archetypes sit under every level.

No quiz, no scoring — just pick the line that sounds most like your organization and meet the archetype behind it. This is the language your table will use.

Getting oriented

Questions we get a lot.

Start here

Anyone whose work, or whose life, runs on generosity. We built it first for nonprofit teams, the staff, fundraisers, board members, and volunteers who practice this every day, and for the consultants, facilitators, and educators who work beside them. You do not need a certain title or a budget to belong at the table. If you already believe generosity is part of who a person is and not only what they do, the game will feel like it was waiting for you.

No. The game is built so a first-time host can run a table in minutes. If you want a running start, take our short Generosity Archetype quiz. Most people find they are already comfortable with the ideas before they ever open the box.

A typical game runs about an hour. Some tables keep going longer because the conversation takes hold. When a team wants to go deeper, we also run structured ninety-minute workshops.

Absolutely. We host monthly game sessions both in person and online, and our homepage lists the most recent games coming up. You can also explore our YouTube channel for examples of gameplay, including this May session run by Julia Campbell.
