Giving Games
Giving Games, created by The Life You Can Save’s COO, Jon Behar, is a form of effective, affordable philanthropy education designed to teach people about effective charitable giving. The program has been used in 20 countries, primarily in classes or clubs on university campuses but also in other education settings as well as by businesses, churches, etc. It employs “experiential philanthropy”: participants learn by giving away real money (usually provided by the presenting organization) to real charities after hearing short presentations and joining in group discussions about the merits of different non-profit organizations.
