Despite the lingering effects of the economic downturn, Americans continue to give generously of their time, talent, and money more than $335 billion in 2013, a 4.4% increase from 2011. What s more, the bulk of that charitable giving 72% came not from large foundations or corporations, but from individuals making small gifts. For those with passion for a cause and a generous spirit, it s vitally important that they leverage their gift in the right way in order to have the greatest impact possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In her first book \u003ci\u003eEvery Gift Matters\u003c\/i\u003e, Carrie Morgridge shares inspiring stories of powerful gifts in action showing readers how to turn the act of giving into a vehicle for positive change. Drawing on 15 years of experience supporting causes that align with her passions through gifts, Morgridge demonstrates how a smart strategy, high expectations, a deep network, and hands-on personal involvement will ensure that one s gift is compounded over time to have the biggest impact possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each person and every gift can make a difference, writes Morgridge. Whoever you are, no matter how much or how little you have, your gift matters. The smallest, seemingly unimportant, donation can transform a life. And the best news is that giving transforms two lives: the one who receives and the one who gives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through her role as Vice President of The Morgridge Family Foundation, Morgridge has learned what works and what doesn t when it comes to giving. She argues that in order to ensure meaningful and lasting change, a gift must be more than simply a grant of money. The giver must assess whether the program is the right fit, work hand-in-hand with the key leaders on strategy, develop a plan for making the endeavor sustainable, and ensure that their gift can be leveraged to have a bigger impact on the community. By sharing real-life stories of how this hands-on approach to giving has transformed lives including her own Morgridge inspires others to believe that they can also make a difference in their community, no matter the size of their gift.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49699970023697,"sku":"DVDB00BM7AA1YVG","price":7.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53415967850769,"sku":"CINB00BM7AA1YG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00BM7AA1Y.jpg?v=1751161220","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-man-who-knew-too-much-dvd-0025192176456","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
