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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonating 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiving 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.Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Philanthropy by the Rest of Us 11\u003cbr\u003e2 The Givingscape: Old and New Come Together 39\u003cbr\u003e3 Crowdfunding and its Ancient Cousins 61\u003cbr\u003e4 Giving is Political 79\u003cbr\u003e5 Investing Across Generations 95\u003cbr\u003e6 The Good, Bad, and Unknown of Giving Data 111\u003cbr\u003e7 Retail Therapy 133\u003cbr\u003e8 Navigating the Givingscape 149\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Whose Problem is it, Anyway? 171\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 183\u003cbr\u003eAppendix A: Methods and Mapping Conversations 185\u003cbr\u003eAppendix B: Glossary and Buzzwords 187\u003cbr\u003eNotes 195\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 211\u003cbr\u003eIndex 221\u003cb\u003e2022 PROSE Award Winner, Economics\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eHow We Give Now\u003c\/i\u003e offers anyone interested in a fuller understanding of how we participate in society, whether it be with our time, money, or data, a lot to consider — about what our shared futures can look like, if we were to pause to think more deeply about how we do things.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Philanthropy News Digest \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Dr. Lucy Bernholz has written the most important book on philanthropy this year… Bernholz’s biggest contribution with this book is the demonstration of how much generosity is happening outside the transaction of writing a cheque to a charity, and how much oxygen is taken up in the charity sector by this narrow framework.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—The Charity Report\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"An impressively thought-provoking and inspiring work, this timely synthesis of ideas and practicality has relevance for public policy, economics, sociology, the sciences, and more.
