Generosity is not measured only in money.

Money is the easiest unit to count and the least of what people need. Time, skill, patience, a name mentioned in the right room, someone willing to sit through a bad afternoon. Plenty of the most consequential generosity involves no money at all and much more of the giver.

Inventory what you have besides money. A skill, a contact, a spare hour, a car. Then think of someone for whom one of those would matter. That match is usually more valuable than an equivalent sum would have been.
