That’s the message of a new book called “Do Your Giving While You Are Living,” written by Edie Fraser and Robyn Spizman.

The book is a compilation of good advice and great ideas from philanthropists, CEOs, community leaders and others who have made giving a priority. There’s even a section featuring The National Crittenton Foundation and our President, Jeannette Pai-Espinosa. Other chapters focus on the work of philanthropist and singer Dionne Warwick; social activist and philanthropist Norman Lear; and Caren Yanis, Executive Director of the Oprah Winfrey Foundations.

The essay written about The National Crittention Foundation and Pai-Espinosa, “Giving Opportunity,” outlines the importance of connecting to core values. The work of The National Crittenton Foundation and its member agencies is used as a way to demonstrate how successful women can give back to the community.

A book launch event for Do Your Giving While You Are Living in Washington, D.C. attracted hundreds of people. Today, the opening bell at the NASDAQ stock market was rung by authors Fraser and Spizman. Representatives from more than 25 organizations, including Pai-Espinosa and Pamela Jones, Executive Director of Florence Crittenton Services of Greater Washington.
