Philanthropy That Gets Results

SUMMARY   |  EXTRAS


Giving money away is easy. If you can sign your name at the bottom of a check, or approve the slate of grants at a family foundation board meeting, or accept proposals from aspiring grantees, you can give money away. Giving it away smartly, so that it not only gets results but also gets more and better results over time, is hard. It involves engaging in a process of rigorous inquiry around six separate but related questions:

  • What are my values and beliefs?
  • What is "success" and how can it be achieved?
  • What am I accountable for?
  • What will it take to get the job done?
  • How do I partner with grantees?
  • Am I getting better?

    • If there was ever a time for philanthropists to step forward and give smart, it is now. Whether you are an experienced donor giving away hundreds of millions of dollars a year, a family engaged in private foundations, an independent trustee, an advisor, a grant maker, or a foundation decision maker, this book is your indispensable guide.
