Jessica Williams, author of the popular 2004 “50 Facts that Should Change the World”,
has written “How to give to charity.” She will donate the royalties from the sales
of this book, with Icon Books pledging to match her donations, to the charity that
wins the readers’ online vote.
Jessica Williams’ book asks popular questions such
as how much should you give? How much does everyone else give? Isn’t it the government’s
job to fund charities? Why do charities use face to face fundraisers on the streets?

The book is a call to arms to get people thinking more about how they can give to
charity – whether it’s through monthly donations, fundraising or volunteering to
run a local sports club.

If you wish to nominate a charity to receive the royalties from her book, you can
do so online. The complete list of all charities nominated, and the percentage of
votes cast for each one, are listed below. The current top ten, headed by The Woodcraft
Folk, is also listed on the homepage.
