ALEXANDRE MARS - Giving

Title: Giving
Description: HarperCollins, 2018. Linnen band. Pp: 128. Do you give to charity?Do you give enough? Those two questions defined Alexandre Mars`s journey from venture capitalist to activist. In 2013, Mars began a worldwide journey to learn from people on the ground. He saw a world that was already changing. Fueled by a passion for social change, young people everywhere donated their time and money, but it wasn`t enough. There was a barrier to giving. People didn`t know what nonprofits were trustworthy and didn`t have the time to do the research. Giving became a burden instead of an encouraging and joyful practice.Mars`s solution? Epic, a foundation that sends 100 percent of user donations to rigorously vetted charities while reporting its impact in real time. But this isn`t just Epic`s story, this is about a movement driven by our deep-seated desire to give. It`s about how the benefits of technology"increased connectedness and transparency"can amplify impact. It`s about holding our new centers of power"multinational corporations"accountable. It`s an urgent call to action: give more, give better.100% of the author's proceeds will go the Epic portfolio organizations to help disadvantaged youth. ISBN: 9780062912404. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
