**Discover your values and put them into action through volunteering and donating.**

Giving back is using your time and money to make the world a better place.

Along the way, you’ll discover a new wealth:

 * Friends who share your vision
 * Skills you develop while volunteering
 * Opportunities to work together with your family
 * Gratitude for what you have
 * Insight about what’s important to you and how you can impact the world
 * Getting to see your children grow in compassion, leadership, and kindness

_Giving Back_ is a how-to guidebook that supports you in discovering your values
and putting them into action. It walks you through the process of finding volunteer
projects that match your values, and helps you think through your strategy of giving
back. Donating strategically means maximising your gift’s impact by finding an efficient
organization and taking advantage of tax benefits.

Giving back is also something you can do together that strengthens family bonds,
builds a legacy, and helps your children grow into their own. The book offers volunteering
ideas appropriate for different age groups and tools for collaboratively choosing
ways to give back.
