Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich: A How-To Guide For Giving And Philanthropy

$11.49
Most people think philanthropy is meant for the rich alone; however, they engage in philanthropic activities without even knowing it. This book shatters the misconception and proves that anyone can be a philanthropist, regardless of their income level. America boasts a high percentage of givers, and despite the economic challenges they have faced in recent years, giving is still a part of their lifestyle. Research has shown that giving is more fulfilling than receiving, and the book opens with a wonderful quote that says, “Giving is a two-way street. By helping others, we not only enrich their lives but also experience a profound sense of joy and purpose ourselves.”
The author then cites examples of notable philanthropists, allowing readers to explore various ways of making a difference. Gitelson also highlights the power of volunteering, a universally accessible form of giving, and further emphasizes the importance of aligning your volunteer efforts with your passions, as that would help you perform at your best.
For people who have the funds available and want to donate to causes of interest, the book offers a roadmap for strategic giving and talks about different areas of charitable support, from religious institutions and educational causes to scientific research and art. It’s impressive that the author doesn’t just stop at encouraging readers to give; she equips them with the tools to give wisely. I liked the section where she provided guidance on how to evaluate charities. She outlined red flags to look out for and emphasized the importance of researching the organization’s goals, programs, finances, and level of transparency.
I believe this would empower readers to make solid decisions and ensure their donations have a genuine impact. Giving Is Not Just for the Very Rich by Dr. Susan Aurelia Gitelson is an inspiring and enlightening read. The author has many years of experience working with clients and organizations, and her expertise and knowledge shine through in the book.
One of the things I liked most was how the book is beginner-friendly and the steps highlighted are practical enough. The book is also filled with references and links to resources for further reading or research. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned philanthropist or just starting your giving journey; Gitelson’s book offers expert insights and practical guidance to help you make the best choices. So, if you’re ready to experience the joy of giving and make a positive difference in the world, pick up this book and discover the power of your generosity, big or small.
