Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World

Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World is a book by former president Bill Clinton about having a positive impact on the world through giving. The book highlights the work of a number of people and organizations Clinton singles out as representing a global floodtide of nongovernmental nonprofit activity. Their stories suggest that the act of giving takes many forms, and that offerings of time, skill, objects and ideas can be just as important as contributions of money.
