In reading up about the Arts for Social Healing conference in Boston help earlier this month, I came across the Zing Foundation and something they are a part of: the 50% league, aka Bolder Giving.

Here is their mission:

We live in a time of historic crisis and opportunity, when contributions of time and money could make a crucial difference. Yet most of us – even if well-off – give at a fraction of our capacity.

Bolder Giving's mission is to inspire us to give at our full potential by providing remarkable role models and practical support.

What I find particularly compelling about this is the way it unites a wide range of individuals within a shared values framework that promotes action and social change.

You can read more about this neat effort at Bolder Giving in Extraordinary Times.

This is pretty cool, Lars. I kind of wish there was a 100% League too. I think some of the people on o/net would qualify for that designation.
