- Let's talk about Wendy Steele who understands the impact of generosity and has been a champion of philanthropy for most of her adult life. In 2001 she launched and led an innovative pass-through foundation called Impact 100 which brings transformational grants to the communities it serves across five focus areas, those areas are culture, education, environment, family and health and wellness. Today, her concept has been replicated in many cities around the globe and continues to expand, in fact I think there are some representatives here today. Beyond Impact 100, Wendy serves as a guide to introduce the power of generosity to organizations and families who are ready for the journey, through her organization, Generosity Matters. Wendy is the winner of the 2014 Jefferson Award for Public Service for her work in philanthropy and she believes wholeheartedly in giving back to her community. Whether giving time, talent, or treasure, Wendy, her husband and their five children are active volunteers. She believes there are two kinds of people in the world, those who see the needs in this world and realize they can be part of the solution and those who need to be invited to the party.  [laughter]  So, Wendy we're welcoming your invitation today.  [applause]  - Thank you, what an exciting day we're having here together, it is a joy to be here. When Martha started off this morning with a call to action for generosity, I said I have found my people.  [laughter]  They're all here. And that's really where I spend most of my life is that call to action to generosity. So how did I get that way and what brings me here? In order to really understand that I'm going to give you a little history, I'm going to give you a little current and, and then together we're going to paint a picture of our future. I was born into a family that was not particularly wealthy, but it was particularly caring. I learned early on that our role here as citizens is to leave the world a little bit better than you found it. And so whether I was babysitting neighbor kids down the street and was told by my parents to be sure I emptied the dishwasher or wiped off the counter or did something to help the parents while the kids were napping or playing, it was just part of my DNA. So naturally as I grew up, my involvement continued. And I was involved in a lot of the traditional ways, I volunteered at my church, I volunteered in my school, I helped my neighbor. We did odd jobs for people who needed them. I trick or treated for UNICEF, I joined the Junior League and later I joined non-profit boards, I gave time, talent and treasure. And what I've learned about those three things is that our best life is when we have time, talent, and treasure to give. But at least in my life and I don't know about in yours, I find often I have one of those three, possibly two, but it's rare that I have all three. And so I will tell you that when I speak about generosity and building a culture, I am talking about in all of those ways, because each one is important. The very kind introduction referenced Impact 100 and starting it. I'm going to give you a little bit of background on how I got there. I moved to Cincinnati, Ohio from the East Coast where I had lived for much of my life and when I got there I dove in with both feet. I am, I confess, a recovering banker. And so when I was there I was in the banking business. Part of my interview with any company I have ever worked for, is to make sure that, as an organization, they place a priority on giving back to the community. And so, during my life, I have had times where I've worked full time from home, I've worked part time, I've worked as only and I don't mean only, as a full time stay at home Mom and all along the way I always allowed time and budget for my community service. Moving to Cincinnati I was delighted to find this is a wonderful place to raise a family, there are lots of corporate headquarters so there are really well-paying jobs, lots of ways to get involved. But after moving there and meeting some dynamic, amazing wom
