Giving 2.0 is the ultimate resource for anyone navigating the seemingly infinite ways one can give. The future of philanthropy is far more than just writing a check, and Giving 2.0 shows how individuals of every age and income level can harness the power of technology, collaboration, innovation, advocacy, and social entrepreneurship to take their giving to the next level and beyond.Major gifts may dominate headlines, but the majority of giving still comes from individual households—ordinary people with extraordinary generosity. Even in 2009, at a time of deep recession, individual giving averaged almost $2,000 per household and drove 82% of the $300 billion donated that same year.

给予2.0是任何人在看似无限的给予方式中导航的终极资源。慈善事业的未来远不止是开支票，捐赠2.0展示了不同年龄和收入水平的个人如何利用技术、合作、创新、宣传和社会企业家精神的力量，将他们的捐赠提升到下一个水平甚至更高的水平。重大礼物可能会成为头条新闻，但是，大部分捐赠仍然来自个人家庭，也就是那些非常慷慨的普通人。即使在2009年，在经济严重衰退的时候，个人捐款平均每户2000美元，推动了同年3000亿美元捐款的82%。
