The Authors@Google program presents Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, author of "Giving 2.0: Transform Your Giving and Our World".

Written for all readers of all income levels, ages, and backgrounds, Giving 2.0 is a guide to living a life of generosity that is socially impactful, emotionally rewarding, and rich with learning. The author not only shares her own experiences as a prominent young philanthropist, academic, and social innovator, but also tells the inspiring stories of how ordinary, generous donors of all backgrounds found their passions, made their giving decisions, measured their impact, cultivated a strong emotional connection to their philanthropy, and tapped into the amazing reach of the Web and social media to collaborate with others who share their interests. And most importantly, by engaging in their giving in more proactive, strategic, and collaborative ways, they were each able to have mega impact without mega dollars.

Whether you are a volunteer, a board member, a social entrepreneur, or interested in making a financial contribution, Giving 2.0 meets you where you are and offers practical questions, guidelines, and solutions that are customized to your giving situation to help you maximize your philanthropic impact.
