Axiom Business Book Awards
"Giving 2.0" is the ultimate resource for anyone navigating the
seemingly infinite ways one can give. The future of philanthropy is
far more than just writing a check, and "Giving 2.0" shows how
individuals of every age and income level can harness the power of
technology, collaboration, innovation, advocacy, and social
entrepreneurship to take their giving to the next level and
beyond.
Major gifts may dominate headlines, but the majority of giving
still comes from individual households--ordinary people with
extraordinary generosity. Even in 2009, at a time of deep
recession, individual giving averaged almost $2,000 per household
and drove 82% of the $300 billion donated that same year. Based on
her vast experience as a philanthropist, academic, volunteer, and
social innovator, Arrillaga-Andreessen shares the most effective
techniques she herself pilots and studies and a vast portfolio of
lessons learned during her lifetime of giving. Featuring dozens of
stories on innovative and powerful methods of how individuals give
time, money, and expertise--whether volunteering and fundraising,
leveraging technology and social media, starting a giving circle,
fund, foundation, or advocacy group, or aspiring to create greater
social impact--"Giving 2.0" shows readers how they can renew,
improve, and expand their giving and reach their fullest
potential.
A practical, entertaining, and inspiring call to action, "Giving
2.0" is an indispensable tool for anyone passionate about creating
change in our world.
