Overwhelm Antidote:
An Inspired Giving Plan
Are you or your clients deluged by requests from charities? The best possible antidote is a Giving Plan.
Start with a big vision: what difference might your money and care make over your whole lifetime? (Try the Lifetime Giving calculator.) Then work your way through four key questions: * WHAT do you want to give to? (Focus on 1-3 causes)
* HOW do you want to give?
* HOW MUCH will you give?
* WHEN will you give?
De-stress your giving! Use the myriad tools from Tracy Gary's book Inspired Philanthropy, and in just a few hours you can draft a plan that's right for you. With a Giving Plan in place, it becomes clear when to say no, and joyous and effective to say yes. | |

Not Just Billionaires
Think only rich people give big? Not so. Sometimes the most powerful stories are about people who give way beyond the norm even though they aren't super-wealthy. Read three such stories of Bolder Givers in the Dec. 24th issue of People Magazine, on newsstands next week: Tom Hsieh, Pilar Gonzales, and Edorah Fraser.Read dozens more stories on www.BolderGiving.org Note: We are looking for skilled volunteer writers to interview over 40 other Bolder Givers whose stories have yet to be posted.

What's the Point?
Ever feel "What's the point in giving more boldly? Will anything save wretched humanity from itself?"
If you resonate with this question, read the astonishing new book by Paul Hawken, Blessed Unrest.
"Many books describe the world in ways that
break our hearts. Blessed Unrest invokes a heartbreak from
which light pours."
"Paul Hawken has written an important and significant
book-- intelligent, compelling, moving, and hopeful... Read and regain a sense of
optimism for our grandchildren's grandchildren..." | |
