Been thinking about ways for philanthropy to make quantum leaps (not just incremental steps) to take on and solve some of the big problems we face – around the world and right in our little corners of the world.

Here’s the question: What would it take to scale up Giving Tuesday to reach $1 billion dollars this year, with five million donors around the world?
We have time to figure this out. So, let’s do it! I’d be interested in hearing what you think about how this can be accomplished…
