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

Reclaim your individual impact with 'entrepreneurial giving'.

It's time to democratize generosity and impact so YOU can make a difference. Philanthropy isn't just about wealth - it's about creativity, passion, and using your unique talents to contribute to what you believe in. Visionary investor and humanitarian John Studzinski challenges the traditional notion that philanthropy is reserved for the ultra-rich, revealing how anyone, regardless of financial means, can become a force for change.

This groundbreaking book introduces entrepreneurial giving - a hands-on approach to philanthropy that harnesses skills, expertise, and resources. Through thought-provoking insights, A Talent for Giving offers a powerful new roadmap for impact. More than a guide, this book is a call to action. Whether you're an executive, an artist, a teacher, or an activist, your talents have the power to transform lives. The future of giving isn't about writing cheques - it's about reimagining what's possible. And it all starts with you.

The word 'philanthropy' can be loosely translated from Ancient Greek to 'love of humanity' – a notion that perfectly sums up this warm, timely book. A generous and profoundly insightful examination of what it means to give, Studzinski explores how we can harness our own unique and distinctive talents to improve the lives of others, and the world around us.

Dr Maria Balshaw, CBE, Director, Tate
John Studzinski's inspiring new book reveals how rewarding entrepreneurial giving is. By taking action to support others, adapting our specialist knowledge and skills, and giving our time, encouragement and inspiration, we can all make a difference and create positive change for a person or community.

Barbara Broccoli, Producer
From one of our leading and celebrated philanthropists, a much welcome Guide to Giving that will inspire a new generation of changemakers to devote their time and energies to the service of others.

Gordon Brown, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
John Studzinski's invaluable A Talent for Giving describes the pilgrimage we can all follow to multiply our unique talents, transform ourselves, and promote the common good. A wonderful book that inspires the temerity of charity.

Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
For me, philanthropy has never been about just giving money to good causes; it is about solving problems and improving things through good works, encouragement, and entrepreneurial thinking. John explores exactly this approach, and shows how meaningful giving goes far beyond the money.

Sir James Dyson OM CBE FRS
A Talent for Giving is the handbook kids need today. It's not a boring lecture. It's a simple plan for finding ways to give in your life. It inspired me to create a new fundraiser at our school in California, and I bet it will help you to give, or give more. You could start by giving this book to a friend!
