HOW WE GIVE NOW - LUCY BERNHOLZ TASCHENBUCH

From Go Fund Me to philanthropy: the everyday ways that we can give our money  our time  and
even our data to help our communities and seek justice. In How We Give Now  Lucy Bernholz shows
that philanthropy is more than writing a check and claiming a tax deduction. For most of
us--the non-wealthy givers--philanthropy can be a way of living our values and fully
participating in society. We give in all kinds of ways--shopping at certain businesses 
canvassing for candidates  donating money  and making conscious choices with our retirement
funds. We give our cash  our time  and even our data to make the world a better place. Bernholz
takes readers on a tour of the often-overlooked worlds of participatory philanthropy  learning
from a diverse group of forty resourceful givers. Donating our digitized personal data is an
emerging form of philanthropy  and Bernholz describes safe  equitable  and effective ways of
doing so--giving genetic data for medical research through a nonprofit genetics organization
rather than a commercial one  for example  or contributing photographs to an online archive
like the Densho Digital Repository  which documents America's internment of 120 000 Americans
of Japanese descent. Bernholz tells us to follow the money  however  when we're asked to add a
dollar to our total at the cash register  or when we buy a charity-branded product  it's more
effective to give directly than to give while shopping. Giving is a form of participation.
Philanthropy by the rest of us--across geographies and cultural traditions--begins with and
builds on active commitment to our communities.
