Founded in fall 2009 by philanthropist Sandra Baldino, Generocity most recently was published by Technical.ly Media from October 2015 till March of 2023. In April of 2023, Generocity was acquired by Civic Capital and is now part of their content division – CivicContent.
Today, Generocity is a local social impact media outlet grounded in community voice and engagement. As a tool for philanthropic, government, and business leaders (social impact leaders), we provide community-driven insights and steward needed conversations. Generocity’s mission is to inform and challenge the social impact community to advance their practice and maximize their impact. Generocity’s overarching goal is to be an advocacy tool that provides a medium for local community members to share their voices and collaborate on solutions, and to help social impact leaders access community insights and needs and understand the direct impact they have on the people they serve.
Generocity is a publication of Civic Capital Consulting. Civic Capital Consulting/Generocity is fiscally sponsored by The Lenfest Institute of Journalism.
Monique Curry-Mims is the Principal and Founder of Civic Capital, an international social impact firm that supports communities and the organizations that serve them through consulting, cultivation, and content. A transplant from Upstate New York and graduate of Philadelphia University (now Jefferson) and The Pennsylvania State University, Monique is a philanthropist and social impact leader who spends her down time at the Float Spa or with her husband and two kids having movie or game nights.
Dionicia Roberson, or Dio, is a longtime Philadelphia resident after a long history of regular displacement, so Philly holds a special place in her heart as the one place she can still call home. With nearly 20 years’ experience, Dio’s editing background was firmly established in helping people she knew to use words as tools to improve their lives – starting with things like standout resumes and job applications. Since then, this commitment to freedom of access to narrative tools has evolved into a career that involves encouraging and supporting community members in crafting their own narratives for publication in local outlets. Her passion for narrative empowerment has also led Dio to create workshop programming designed to give folks the tools to tell their own stories, claim their lived experience expertise, and take their rightful place in the public discourse.
When Dio is not editing or writing, you can most often find her being bossed around by her two beautiful dogs, deeply immersed in a book, cracking very silly puns with her kid, or crafting something adorable with her own two hands.
