How to Be an Everyday Philanthropist
by Nicole Bouchard Boles
For people who want to support charitable causes but have little money or time, this book describes small steps they can take to become philanthropists.
Nicole Bouchard Boles, a consultant and author of the blog “The Frugal Philanthropist,” provides 330 tips on how readers can give what they already have to charity, such as their skills, belongings, or even trash. For example, she lists programs and organizations that recycle flowers from weddings and parties or accept used running shoes and turn them into material for basketball courts.
