    On The Joys of Giving Back

    Recently Meera Gandhi launched her book, Giving Back at the Leela Palace Hotel in New Delhi, with over 500 guests including family, friends, media and movers and shakers. All proceeds from the book benefit the Giving Back Foundation, which recently also established an India office. The book highlights the many organizations that the Giving back Foundation is associated with. For more on the organization and the work it does, check out  www.TheGivingbackFoundation.net

    As Fareed Zakaria writes, “The act of giving is twice blessed, touching the recipient but also the donor. We are at the beginning of a great revolution of giving. Meera Gandhi describes and celebrates it in this beautiful, heartwarming book.”

      We have also launched the Giving Back Foundation India with section 80 G tax exempt tax status. So hope we can take on even more projects in India in addition to our other global projects.
      Sincerely
