Description

“A guide for how all of us can make a difference in the lives of others.” Michael Bloomberg

“Made me really think about what it means to give, to care, to be generous.” Sir Grayson Perry

Did you know you had a talent for entrepreneurial giving?

We all like the idea of making the world a better place – but have you ever thought of yourself as a philanthropist? Revealing how anyone can become a force for change, visionary investor and humanitarian John Studzinski challenges the notion that philanthropy is reserved for the ultra-rich.

The secret lies in a move to entrepreneurial giving. It's not just about money. In fact, it doesn't have to be about money at all. Entrepreneurial giving is about channelling your passions – even your anger and anxieties – into a vocation. It's about unearthing your talents, applying them with a sense of purpose, and playing your part in creating a more generous society.

Full of thought-provoking, practical insights, A Talent for Giving adds up to a call to action. Your talents have the power to transform lives and to shape the future of giving. It's time to reimagine what's possible. And it all starts with you
