"The Everyday Philanthropist"
The Everyday Philanthropist takes the ideas from Dan’s best-selling book “Uncharitable,” and his popular Ted Talk and distills them down to simple, easy-to-understand guidance.
It’s meant for the layperson. Your grandmother. Your best friend. Big friendly type, micro chapters, plain spoken language, and smart graphics make it easy for all of your constituents to understand that there’s a better way to do giving. Change the thinking of your entire donation ecosystem.
