Nipun Mehta, is the founder of CharityFocus.org a fully volunteer run organization and gift-economy incubator with 200,000 members that leverages technology to inspire greater volunteerism and shift our cultural ethos towards generosity. In a gift economy, goods and services are given without any strings attached; it is an economic system where wealth is decreased by hoarding and it is the circulation of the gifts within the community that leads to increase - in both connections and relationship strength. The Gift-Economy is an ancient, indigenous idea that is curiously finding its footing in the modern, Internet economy.

If you are in the San Francisco area on April 8 at 6:30pm, The Pachamama Alliance is hosting Nipun after its presentation and a no host dinner at Pena Pachamama, located at 1630 Powell Street, in North Beach, San Francisco, CA. Nipun will share inspiring lessons from his experiments with the gift-economy, both personally and institutionally, and discuss small steps that anyone can take to align with the trust and abundance of the gift-economy.

Reasonable parking can be found at the garages on Vallejo between Powell and Stockton, 2 blocks south of the venue. For venue information and to RSVP, please click here…
