You can express your generosity in ways that are virtually limitless. This was what I wanted to convey in 'Giving 2.0' - that whether you have $10 or $10 million to give, if you identify the right opportunities and make the most of your resources, your impact can be tremendous.

Nonprofits are the intermediaries between generosity and social change.

Being innovative in your philantropy allows you to stride forward in your giving journey; you can marry your mind and heart to turn charity into lasting impact; and you can become more ambitious in your giving.

Medical tests have shown that giving stimulates a part of the brain that gives us the same gratification as when we eat food or have sex.

We’re seeing that business models and philanthropic models are not mutually exclusive.
