Giving 2.0™ Guides
Created as part of Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen’s philanthropy courses at Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Giving 2.0™ Guides lead individual givers step-by-step through the process of identifying your unique assets and developing an intentional, meaningful giving plan. To realize your unique capacity to create social impact with your giving, it is integral that you move from being reactive to proactive, sympathetic to strategic and isolated to collaborative. The guides will provide digestible information on a variety of philanthropic topics to help amplify the impact of your giving journey.
