Making Change with pocket change.
practical tips on how to maximize
your giving WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT TO GIVE.
THE BIG IDEA
EVERYBODY CAN BE A PHILANTHROPIST
While people often think of philanthropy as something that only rich people can do, the truth is that the bulk of philanthropy in America is made up of smaller donations. While million dollar donations get headlines, $25 and under grants (a lot of them combined) get results.
Our upcoming book, Give It Away: Philanthropy For the 98% combines philosophy, tactics, and best practices to encourage and promote what we call Tiny Philanthropy, and to allow regular people to maximize the effect that their contributions to charity can have.
Get the book, and start using your pocket change to make change.
