Description
Dr. Susan Aurelia Gitelson’s Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich is a resourceful guide for learning the ropes of giving and becoming a philanthropist. Learn how some religious organizations favor philanthropy and discover the contributions of community foundations. Find out how billionaires like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are working toward making the world a better place. Follow Dr. Susan’s compilation of volunteer projects, including Project Appleseed and the National Academy Foundation. The book contains a list of areas and organizations that the reader might find interesting while considering where to start. It will help you align with a rewarding path of giving, even if you don’t have the riches of millionaires or the time to be fully engaged in philanthropy.
I enjoyed reading Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich. The book’s elaborate insights are neatly constructed and organized into accessible chapters and segments. You can read it by selecting a random chapter or finding a title that resonates with you since each chapter is somewhat separate and unique from the other chapters. As a music artist, I was inspired by Gustavo Dudamel’s story. His thoughtful initiative encourages “less advantaged children to learn and develop through music.”
The book has an atmosphere that draws you in and compels you to read every page with close attention. Susan’s deep research results in a book that’s highly resourceful and filled with valuable revelations. The information is communicated in simple, expressive language, with no cumbersome or overwhelming chapters. Also, a section that is made up of introspective words and smart guidelines is designed to help readers decide how they wish to give. Here, you will gain access to thoughtful instructions like, “Consider your values and what appeals to you most.”
I am pleasantly surprised to find out how sophisticated the world of giving is in Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich. Susan has done a highly commendable job of compiling a rich list of options for individuals who wish to start giving or give more. No matter what your interests or preferred social groups are, you will find a philanthropic path that resonates with you—whether it’s in music, sports, education, or science.
This book is one I wish everyone would read. Consider how much more beautiful life would be if a majority of us made it a goal to contribute to providing education to the young, combating diseases, supplying poor communities with necessary amenities, or any other noble cause. Read it, find a suitable philanthropic program, and prepare to feel the joy in your soul as you make efforts to improve the lives of your fellow humans.
