A Kid's Guide to Giving by Freddi Zeiler

I learned of this book for kids by a kid about giving in Pres. Bill Clinton's book on philanthropy in America. It has a great package- a stiff cardboard fold-over cover- and then the pages are spiral bound with lots of yellow. The first part explains how foundations work to fund nonprofits. It gives great information about researching organizations before giving them money, time, or stuff. Then it encourages kids to get involved. The second part is an index of 100 nonprofits that are involved in missions that appeal to kids. It's a creative approach.
