Description
By 2025, Americans are likely to donate over half a trillion dollars annually to nonprofit organisations. This shift in philanthropy is transforming America's civic sector landscape. Philanthropy is entering an era of unprecedented growth and innovation. Established foundations such as Ford and Rockefeller are doubling down on programs tackling long-simmering problems, including global inequality, less-than-stellar education, and uneven access to healthcare. Many foundations are engaging in advocacy on controversial issues, exploring venture philanthropy solutions, and experimenting with impact investing. Philanthropists are also planning to put their wealth to work as never before. Joel L. Fleishman provides expert analysis of contemporary philanthropy, offering valuable insight for those engaged with charitable foundations. His book offers a fascinating account of philanthropy today, providing an indispensable guide to understanding its inner workings, impact, and expansive potential.
