Event Details

The Salwen family was living the standard American life of accumulation -- nice house, cars, toys.  Then 14-year-old Hannah saw a homeless man juxtaposed against a Mercedes and became incensed about the disparities in the world.  So, she challenged her family make a difference.  Her urging triggered the family's radical decision to sell their beautiful Atlanta home, move to one half its size and give half the sales price to address poverty in Ghana -- a move that ended up transforming the relationships within their family.  

Their story is chronicled in the book The Power of Half: One Family's Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving Back by Kevin Salwen and Hannah Salwen.  You might want to read it before the call!

Bold Conversations is a monthly phone discussion hosted by Anne Ellinger, co-founder of Bolder Giving in Extraordinary Times (www.boldergiving.org). Each month you can join a conversation with an extraordinary giver who will share strategies, challenges, and excitement about their giving.  See all events and this one-minute promo video about Bolder Giving

The format of each Bold Conversation is a 60 min. free teleconference call.  Anne and the featured guest will talk, pausing frequently to take questions from listeners.  We aim for an informal, interactive, and frank discussion where listeners apply lessons to their own giving. You can listen to archived conversations and also join online chats with Bold Givers hosted by the Chronicle on Philanthropy.
