Giving is an expression of gratitude for our blessings.

As philanthropists, the most powerful legacy we can create is one that keeps on giving - through our children.

I want to empower and educate and inspire individuals who are giving to give in a way that is more meaningful. The more meaningful our giving is, the more giving we will do.

'Giving 2.0' was born of my desire to redefine and democratize philanthropy.

When incomes and bonuses decrease, revenues falter, and businesses stumble, it's more important than ever to give - not necessarily more, but in a way that matters more. When incomes are down and wallets are stretched, the effectiveness of our giving is what really counts.

Too often we're happy to receive thanks from the nonprofits we fund, accepting gratitude instead of feedback or performance measurements.
