Description A practical, inspirational guide to philanthropy, at all levels of giving.
Charitable giving in the U.
reached a new high in 2017 of more than $400 billion, with the majority of American households giving to charity.
And every giver, from the tech titan to the everyday middle class citizen, needs to answer the same question: How do I channel my giving effectively to make the greatest difference? It's the fundamental question at the heart of philanthropy, whether givers want their donation to improve schools, prevent disease, or protect basic freedoms, and whether they are in a position to give $1 million or $1.
Giving Done Right, by Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) President Phil Buchanan, arms donors with what it takes to do more good, more quickly, and to avoid predictable errors that lead too many astray.
This is a crucial manual that will reveal the secrets and lessons learned - some painful, some powerful -- from some of the biggest givers.
It will bust commonly held myths and demystify an opaque industry - setting donors up with both the practical how-tos and the inspiration that is needed for success.
Giving Done Right offers the intellectual frameworks, data-driven insights, tools, and practical examples to allow readers to understand exactly what it takes to make a difference.
