In 2013, Mars began a worldwide journey to learn from people on the ground. He saw a world that was already changing. Fueled by a passion for social change, young people everywhere donated their time and money, but it wasn't enough. There was a barrier to giving. People didn't know what nonprofits were trustworthy and didn't have the time to do the research. Giving became a burden instead of an encouraging and joyful practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMars's solution? Epic, a foundation that sends 100 percent of user donations to rigorously vetted charities while reporting its impact in real time. But this isn't just Epic's story, this is about a movement driven by our deep-seated desire to give. It's about how the benefits of technology--increased connectedness and transparency--can amplify impact. It's about holding our new centers of power--multinational corporations--accountable. It's an urgent call to action: give more, give better.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% of the author's proceeds will go the Epic portfolio organizations to help disadvantaged youth.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandre Mars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062912402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062912404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Alexandre Mars","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056608899327,"sku":"9780062912404","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0cd295f-860f-47a1-908b-628786fb3a32.jpg?v=1685042260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giving-alexandre-mars-9780062912404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
