Sally Osberg Reviews Book in Stanford Social Innovation Review
December 6, 2011 by Sally Farhat KassabThe new book, Giving 2.0 by Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, was reviewed by Skoll Foundation CEO Sally Osberg in Stanford Social Innovation Review’s latest issue. An excerpt:
“Giving 2.0 speaks directly to the influence of millions of ordinary people whose contributions form the backbone of American philanthropy, adding up to more than $200 billion and 8.1 billion hours of volunteering each year. A compelling, meticulously researched work, Giving 2.0 pays its readers the ultimate tribute by assuming that they have what it takes to become powerful givers themselves. Its influence will be felt in untold acts of more informed and thoughtful giving. And its—and Arrillaga-Andreessen’s—impact will be registered in the societal transformation those vastly better gifts make possible.
If you want to understand the history and future of giving, this is the one book you should read. Make a gift of it.”
