The Art of Good Deeds
By Dwayne Ashley
When we think of philanthropy, we often think of large donations to charity or grand gestures, but philanthropy can be simple and practical.
Bridge Philanthropic Consulting, LLC (BPC) today announces release of the new book The Art of Good Deeds: The Joy of Giving, authored by founder and CEO Dwayne Ashley and the BPC team. The book presents personal stories and real-life experiences of the impact of good deeds.
This insightful collection of first-person narratives encourages deeper understanding of both financial and social giving through real-life people making philanthropy and good deeds part of their everyday life. The personal stories also demonstrate the power of giving through deeds. A welcome donor-recognition gift for not-for-profits, crowdfunding campaigns, and others you want to either inspire or thank–or both!
