Philanthropy Writer Susan Aurelia Gitelson Continues to Encourage Middle-Class Support for Global Charities via Book as Well as Updated Resources
Dr. Susan Aurelia Gitelson has spent a very long career in international business and higher education as well as political science institutions. Throughout it all, she has developed something of a specialty in one topic: philanthropy. More specifically, it’s the idea that it’s not something exclusive to the world’s wealthiest. Her book, along with new resources, aims to dispel this myth and encourage more giving to worthy causes.
“Dr. Susan Aurelia Gitelson has created an ambitious compendium of examples of philanthropy from names familiar to us all like Wendy Kopp, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates to those unknown at most. All donors share a desire to improve life and create equality of education opportunity for all. How the reader can do it is what Gitelson explains in clear and precise prose. This book is compelling reading for young and old and illuminates the path to helping others while enriching one’s own life.”
From the conference tables of major executives to serving as advisor for several foreign policymakers, Dr. Susan Aurelia Gitelson has had a long career that involved many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful.
On the other hand, that is precisely why she believes such cliques do not have an exclusive monopoly in one area: philanthropy.
She makes that point no clearer than in her own book, “Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich: A How-To Guide For Giving And Philanthropy.” It’s a book that she’s been promoting for quite some time while also continuing to work in spreading its very important ideas. In it, she essentially gives a crash course on philanthropy that de-emphasizes dollar amounts and the importance of connection to worthwhile causes and programs.
Furthermore, “Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich” aims to help Gitelson foster such connections to create communities of like-minded philanthropists to tackle many problems around the world. Along with that, she shares a number of giving strategies and helps organize charitable institutions by categories (such as science, arts, religion, sports, and more).
Much of this knowledge is drawn from a breadth of Gitelson’s own very extensive work experience. After training at the Rockefeller Foundation, she then eventually came to serve as President of International Consultants, Inc., which did work for numerous international businesses as well as educational and cultural institutions. She has also been a member of a number of advisory boards, including the National Committee on American Foreign Policy.
At one point, she had even given her name to the Susan Aurelia Gitelson Award for Human Rights. The award was given at a special reception for human rights majors studying at Columbia University Law School and its many recipients have gone on to become leading scholars in their field.
Moreover, “Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich” appeared in the New York Times Sunday Review Summer Reading Edition.
“Giving is Not Just For The Very Rich: A How-To Guide For Giving And Philanthropy” has been exhibited at major book events across America and the world. The book is available in paperback and eBook/Kindle on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ReadersMagnet Bookstore.
