Money Well Spent: A Strategic Guide to Smart Philanthropy

Billions of philanthropic dollars all too often go to waste, failing to achieve stated goals or make true change happen. The reason for this is simple: poor strategy. Drawing on examples from many different foundations, Money Well Spent presents donors with the framework to design a plan that will ensure meaningful returns. Paul Brest and Hal Harvey, who help run the U.S.'s sixth largest foundation, bring a wealth of experience and expertise on what works and what does not. For those who believe that philanthropic dollars should be administered according to the highest standards of stewardship, this book is money well spent.
