Jim Luce writes in the field of philanthropy with a unique, deeply personal perspective shaped by decades of hands-on leadership and giving. As the founder of Orphans International, launched in 1999 with proceeds from his mother’s estate, and the James Jay Dudley Luce Foundation, established in 2007 with his father’s legacy, Jim Luce has devoted his life to advancing global humanitarian causes. In 2010, he took the extraordinary step of making a Vow of Poverty, donating his entire savings, assets, and pension to charity. Drawing from his experience running a global NGO that receives philanthropic support and managing a foundation committed to improving humanity, Luce offers insights that bridge the worlds of donor and recipient, blending practical wisdom with a profound commitment to service.
