Simple Giving: Easy Ways to Give Every Day [Paperback]

Most people think they have to donate a lot of time and money in order to make a difference. But there are simple ways to integrate giving into our personal and professional lives that don’t involve either. InSimple Giving, Jennifer Iacovelli shows us how to make giving a part of our daily routines. It can involve something as simple as holding the door open for a stranger or paying someone else’s toll, which will brighten that person’s day. We can also think about ways to make sustainability and social good a part of our business models.

It’s refreshing, fun, and practical. And a most exhilarating new way to think about the impact of charity.”
