The future of philanthropy

the long version

This book speaks to the practice of philantrophy of tommorow, and the issues that will shape the philantrophic and nonprofit environment just over the horizon. Written as a series of short essays - the busy manager or board memeber can tackle with limited time. The essays are not merely statements of existing conditions or ruminations on the values of service rather they raise unsettling questions about the very assumptions upon which nonprofits are built and from which philanthropic dollars flow. The book is intended to provoke thoughtful debate as well as illuminate elusive objective data.
