AMERICAN CREED : PHILANTHROPY AND THE RISE OF CIVIL SOCIETY, 1700-1865. Kathleen McCarthy. Chicago: University of Chicago, 2003. 319pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) Funding Center HV91 .M375 2003
Since the dawn of the republic, faith in social equality, religious freedom, and the right to engage in civic activism have constituted our national creed. In this bracing history, Kathleen D. McCarthy traces the evolution of these ideals, exploring the impact of philanthropy and volunteerism on America from 1700 to 1865. What results is a vital reevaluation of public life during the pivotal decades leading up to the Civil War.

AMERICAN FOUNDATIONS: AN INVESTIGATIVE HISTORY. Mark Dowie. Cambridge, Mass : MIT, 2001. 320pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) Funding Center HV97 .A3 D68 2001
Mark Dowie traces the history of foundations beginning with Andrew Carnegie and ending with Irene Diamond and George Soros. (Bill Gates is mentioned only briefly, since his most spectacular high profile giving is too recent to be discussed in the book.)
Although highly critical of foundations (he gives their work in the last century a C minus!), he nonetheless concludes that third sector philanthropy is and can be a viable instrument of social change. His chief criticism of foundations is that they siphon wealth away from the tax base, where it could or might be used for the betterment of all, in favor of an agenda arrived at by one person or a small group of people, often representing the privileged class. (Ultimately he concedes that if the money were left in the hands of the government it is questionable whether much good would be done with it.) While he admits that the goals of foundations run the political gamut, from civil and human rights on the left side of the spectrum to dismantling the welfare state on the right, he notes a funding preference for established, mainstream organizations, and he fears that nonprofits may tailor their activities toward what funders are interested in, rather than taking creative risks.
On reflection, Dowie concludes that most foundations are "centrist," with the exception of a handful of well-organized foundations to the extreme right, which he credits, in part, with leveraging the Reagan revolution through their funding of "think tanks." He rates foundations high for their funding of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, low for their handling of environmental issues today. In fact, his most scathing criticism of foundations is their funding of environmental organizations with one hand, while holding stock in companies that pollute with the other. As a secondary issue, he states that in some instances foundations could do more for the common good by divesting themselves of certain stocks than by making grants. To bolster this argument, the book's appendix contains a detailed analysis of the effect of socially conscious investing on the bottom line — which, surprising— to some, is not bad.
Dowie's "ideal" philanthropist is Irene Diamond, who set specific priorities, most notably AIDS research, funded it heavily, and "spent out" her endowment. (He hastens to add that spending out is not for everyone.)
American Foundations: An Investigative History is well researched, although much of the statistical data seems old. The anecdotal sections are reasonably up to date, however. Although the book is heavily researched, it is not dry reading. Dowie feels passionately about many things, and his passion grabs the reader. He does not shy away from hot-button issues — distribution of wealth, politics, the meaning of democracy and civil society.
This book is recommended for anyone interested in the history of philanthropy, as well as to grantmakers looking for new challenges (or looking to re-examine their portfolios). However, since Dowie has a definite agenda, one would do well to read other works on the subject. For citations to additional literature on this topic, refer to Literature of the Nonprofit Sector Online, using the subject headings "Foundations-analysis" or "Philanthropy-analysis."

BUSINESS OF CHANGING THE WORLD : TWENTY GREAT LEADERS ON STRATEGIC CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY. Marc Benioff and Carlye Adler, eds. New York : McGraw-Hill Companies, 2006. 297pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) HG4028.C6 B455 2007
Corporate philanthropy is growing, both in the amount of money given away each year and in the commitment by businesses. Mr. Benioff, chief executive officer of Salesforce.com, and Ms. Adler, a freelance reporter, have collected essays by 18 chief executives and chairmen of large, multinational companies — including Dell, GlaxoSmithKline, Hasbro, and Starbucks — that discuss their companies' philanthropic philosophy, experiences, and programs. John Morgridge, chairman emeritus of Cisco Systems, the computer-hardware company, says, "It's so much more than just money that makes an impact. ... It's the collective resources of the company including our employees' expertise and time, our products and technology, and our global reach that can make a difference." Mr. Morgridge offers five practical approaches companies can use to maximize the benefits of their giving. "When choosing a nonprofit in which to invest," he says, "assess your choice as carefully as you would a stock-market investment."

THE CATHEDRAL WITHIN: TRANSFORMING YOUR LIFE BY GIVING SOMETHING BACK. William Shore. New York, N.Y. : Random House, 1999. 292pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) Funding Center HV27 .S535 1999
The Cathedral Within uses the metaphor of architecture to look at the way individuals allocate their resources to improve public life. Just as the enduring magnificence of a cathedral is not erected overnight, so, too, the transformation of a society takes many, many years to complete. And just as the construction of a cathedral is less a reflection of its builders' interest in masonry than a testament to the soaring reach of the human spirit, philanthropy is not so much a response to need as to a basic human requirement to give something meaningful back to society.

While the nation's love affair with charities is strong and continuing, the increase in indicting news stories over the past several years (including this year's Senate Finance Committee's hearings on the subject) has heightened the public's interest, as well as its cynicism. In the midst of such scrutiny, Charity on Trial seeks to demystify what donors and others should expect from the charitable sector.

CHARITY, PHILANTHROPY, AND CIVILITY IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Lawrence J. Friedman. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. 467pp. Main Library Stacks HV91 .C4545 2003
The study of philanthropy has transcended the structure of traditional disciplines, often involving non-historians in historical analysis. This book presents professional historians addressing the dominant issues and theories offered to explain the history of American philanthropy and its role in American society. The essays develop and enlighten the major themes proposed by the book's editors, in some instances taking issue with each other in the process. The overarching premise is that philanthropic activity in America has its roots in the desires of individuals to impose their visions of societal ideals or conceptions of truth upon their society. To do so, they have organized in groups, frequently defining themselves and their group's role in society in the process.

COLLABORATIVE PHILANTHROPIES : WHAT GROUPS OF FOUNDATIONS CAN DO THAT INDIVIDUAL DONORS CANNOT. Elwood M. Hopkins. Lanham : Lexington Books, c2005. 96pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) Funding Center HD2769.15 .H67 2005
American philanthropy has historically been a solitary pursuit defined by individual donor action and fragmented, uncoordinated grantmaking. But in recent years, foundations have begun to come together in groups to take on shared initiatives and agendas. InCollaborative Philanthropies, Elwood M. Hopkins--himself the executive director of the successful collaborative Los Angeles Urban Funders--argues that these funder collaboratives are more than a collection of isolated experiments. Instead, they provide a window into a dramatic and promising new stage in the development of organized philanthropy. For anyone aspiring to play a leadership role in the philanthropic field, this book lays out a visionary blueprint for smarter, more effective philanthropy in the twenty-first century.

Creating Philanthropic Capital Markets presents practical strategies for re-imagining philanthropy. It suggests that the resources of individual philanthropic players -- people and institutions -- can have a far greater impact, provide more satisfaction, and contribute to a better world if the system of philanthropy as a whole is redesigned. Through a coherent framework for pursuing improvement, the book suggests new ways for individuals and organizations to invest grant funds, approach regulatory structures that guide giving, and define their goals, activities, outcomes, and achievements.

CREATING TOMORROW'S PHILANTHROPISTS: CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT FOR YOUTH. Patricia O. Bjorhovde, ed. San Francisco, Ca. : Jossey-Bass Publishers, 2002. 117pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) Funding Center HG177.5 .U6 C743 2002
This issue of New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising focuses on the current state of teaching of philanthropy to youth and the curricula being written to accomplish that goal. Fostering lifelong skills in fundraising, donor skills, volunteerism, and civic participation in today's youth is the key to creating tomorrow's philanthropists. With an overview of ongoing research and key philanthropic concepts in existing curricula, chapter authors explore future implications of current trends. They examine the Council of Michigan's effort to incorporate philanthropic practice into their state-mandated public school core curriculum; the partnership between professional fundraisers and the educational system approved by the New Jersey Department of Education; and Indianapolis's Habits of the Heart project. Other crucial topics addressed include faith-based organizations and their role in the transmission of philanthropic values; ethical fundraising and the fundraising experience for youth; and the dual role of philanthropic studies programs in higher education. With a mission to promote the development and implementation of philanthropy teaching programs at every level in every community, this issue is an invaluable resource for educators and philanthropic organizations alike.

CREATIVE PHILANTHROPY : TOWARDS A NEW PHILANTHROPY OF FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. Helmut Anheier. London : Routledge, 2006. 277pp. On order 02/29/08
Philanthropy and endowed foundation are good and vitally important institutions of modern society. They fit in well with the way advanced market economies are developing, in particular with the nexus between private and public benefit in an era of "small" government and greater social diversity. As institutions, however, they are facing new threats: declining resources relative to needs, and questions about their accountability and performance. In recent years individual philanthropists and foundation leaders have looked to strategic philanthropy as a way of becoming more effective and efficient. Strategic philanthropy can help foundations to think about structures and processes, but it does not provide any answer to the more fundamental questions about foundations' distinctive roles in contributing to public good. This important new book provides an overview of creative philanthropy along with an analysis of the theory and practice of philanthropy. The authors spell out the implications of their study for management and policy and provide readers with the tools and techniques of creative philanthropy. Essential reading for all those who study or work infFoundations, philanthropy and nonprofit organizations this important new book explicates this complicated but vital subject area.

Cultures of Caring: Philanthropy in Diverse American Communities (Online Report)
http://www.cof.org/
Note: type in "cultures of caring" in the search box.
A recent report by the Council on Foundations examines ways to expand the use of "institutional" philanthropy (as opposed to personal or relationship-based philanthropy) among African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans. The study, called Cultures of Caring: Philanthropy in Diverse American Communities, was conceived in 1995, when Joanne Scanlon, senior vice president for professional development at the Council on Foundations, met with representatives of the Ford Foundation, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, and the David and Lucille Packard Foundation. Each foundation had developed its own programs for increasing philanthropy in diverse populations and wanted to know how to make those efforts more effective. The three foundations took an active role in developing the project as well as supporting it financially. The full report, available on the Internet or in hard copy through the council, includes a section on each group, as well as one about the role of community foundations to establish and increase endowment funds for and by diverse ethnic communities. The report offers general recommendations for expanding diverse philanthropy, most of which apply to all groups surveyed. Researchers stress that endowments are only one philanthropic mechanism, and that many of those surveyed regard the immediate needs of their community to be of greater concern than long-range funding…

    A new report shows that the ability to take a tax deduction for charitable contributions plays a major role in donor decisions—at every income level—about how much to give. The study sheds light on the giving patterns of itemizers and nonitemizers and reveals that in every income group examined, households that itemize their deductions give significantly more than households that do not itemize.

    EXPERIMENTS INVESTIGATING FUNDRAISING AND CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTORS. R. Mark Isaac. Amsterdam : Elsevier JAI, 2006. 246pp. On order 02/29/08
    This volume consists of nine papers that use experimental and theoretical tools to examine issues pertaining to charitable auctions and fundraising. In recent years, the revenue-generating effects of different fundraising techniques have been a subject of increasing policy interest as private, religious and state originations have come to rely increasingly on fundraising activities for revenues. Experimental methods provide an ideal context for conducting the dialogue between economists, fundraisers and policymakers regarding the revenue and social consequences of alternative fundraising methods. Themes explored in the volume include the structure of charity auctions, charity lotteries, fund drives as well as some of broader issues underlying charitable behaviour.

    The state of Michigan has been blessed with remarkable philanthropic leadership and achievement.

It is a story of women as much as men, European-Americans, latinos and African Americans, native americans and Asian Americans. It is the story of a penniless people trading acts of kindness and also the story of immense wealth, created by successful business people, who felt compelled to give back to the state that had been so good to them. It is, above all, the immensely important story of voluntary actions for the public good. Available from the Council, P. O. Box 599, Grand Haven, MI 49417 for $25.

    THE FOUNDATION : A GREAT AMERICAN SECRET : HOW PRIVATE WEALTH IS CHANGING THE WORLD. Joel L. Fleishman. New York, NY: PublicAffairs, 2007. 357pp. Main Library Stacks HV97.A3 F54 2007
    The $35 billion dollar question : What do America's foundations do with your money? In his first book, law professor and philanthropist Fleishman has created a thoughtful, engrossing, comprehensive guide to the origins, initiatives, successes and failures among the largely unsung 68,000 private foundations in America, which together grant over 32.2 billion tax-exempt dollars per year. Tracing the history of this distinctly American institution, Fleishman considers the philanthropy of such financial titans as Andrew Carnegie, George Soros, Warren Buffett, Michael Milken and Bill Gates. Fleishman's view of the foundation is distinctly favorable: foundations serve a vital social function by providing seed funding to innovative initiatives, having led to such benefits as the 911 emergency response system, the development of the Pap smear, the alleviation of poverty in Bangladesh and the establishment of Johns Hopkins and Carnegie Mellon Universities. Fleishman doe not hestitate, however, to criticize foundations for arrogance, poor planning, unresponsiveness, waste and irresponsibility, using 12 case studies-Rockefeller's Population Council and the Children's Television Workshop among them-to set the stage for "Some Not So Modest Proposals," most of which involve increasing transparency and accountability. Fleishman's efforts prove an illuminating guide to a little-examined aspect of the American tradition.

    GENERATIONS OF GIVING: LEADERSHIP AND CONTINUITY IN FAMILY FOUNDATIONS. Kelin E. Gersick. New York: Lexington Books, 2004. 283pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) Funding Center HV97 .A3 G475 2004
    Using detailed and comprehensive analysis, Generations of Giving: Leadership and Continuity in Family Foundations examines continuity and leadership over time within family foundations. Based upon a study of foundations in the United States and Canada that have survived through at least two generations, the authors ask probing questions, including:

  • Why were the foundations started?
  • What did they look like at the beginning?
  • How did the families of the founders come to be involved?
  • And how did they organize themselves to do their work from year to year, decade to decade?
    Although the foundations in the study are quite diverse in their goals and management, they have all had to confront and survive a common set of challenges. At the core of this volume is the study of two aspects of philanthropy: funding and volunteers--each essential to the survival of a foundation. This study is about the "why" and the "how" of these two crucial aspects. The authors give a truly unique perspective, which serves as a powerful tool for readers as they address the specific situations of their own foundations. A thorough and powerful work, Generations of Giving: Leadership and Continuity in Family Foundations demands that we must not only appreciate philanthropy, but we must also increase our understanding so that we can do it better.

Those engaged in philanthropy need to learn what is working, or not working, from others in their field, and they are looking for ways to share this information. A number of books and articles recently have been published on various aspects of this topic. Presented here is an annotated list of notable publications. The broad categories include general works, governance, management, grantmaking and evaluation.

    The task of giving away money can intimidate even a veteran program officer, write the authors. They offer this guide to help grant makers at foundations and corporate-giving programs stay focused. Everyone wants something from the grant maker, they write, and trying to please everyone can prove to be exhausting. In addition, the authors warn against "power poisoning," an illness caused by proximity to large sums of money and fawning grant seekers. They explain how to review grant proposals and note eight qualities they say make a grant request shine. Other chapters cover interviewing grant seekers about proposed projects and conducting on-site visits, scrutinizing the finances of non-profit organizations, and keeping board members informed.

    GREAT PHILANTHROPIC MISTAKES. Martin Morse Wooster. Hudson Institute Press, 2006. 158pp. On order 03/03/08
    The first book to explore why foundations fail. In eight case studies, Martin Morse Wooster looks at major programs that ended disastrously. In each case, arrogant foundations thought that, given enough resources and time, they could prevent overpopulation, cure cancer, and “find Michelangelo.” These failures should provide warnings for future philanthropists who think their billions can change the world. Topics include:
    (1) Abraham Flexner and the Rockefeller Foundation’s funding of medical education (1913-1928)
    (2) The Lasker Foundation and the “War on Cancer” (1944-1976)

    Some of the issues discussed include: the boundaries between the third sector and other sectors, the role of the nonprofit sector as pressures mount for voluntary institutions to replace the work of the government, and the concomitant involvement of nonprofits with commercial endeavors. Van Til coins the term "third space" to refer to those organizations and actions that serve to build community.

    Until recently, organized philanthropy in the United States has largely ignored Hispanic population groups, due to language and cultural barriers. In this issue of New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising, the authors report on research conducted with leading Hispanic philanthropists, fundraising professionals, and nonprofit executives about the current status of giving and asking in Hispanic American communities and their attitudes and beliefs about philanthropy. Chapters examine the effect of education and religion on Hispanic philanthropy; describe the development, implementation, and results of a fundraising training program conducted in Hispanic nonprofits; and illustrate how Hispanic women are transforming the nonprofit sector and philanthropy.

    How Americans Give
    http://philanthropy.com/premium/articles/v15/i14/14000601.htm
    Families like Ms. Kaigler's are a key reason that people in Detroit give a bigger share of their discretionary income to charity -- an average of 12.5 percent annually -- than residents of the nation's 49 other biggest cities, according to a Chronicle study of giving by people who make $50,000 or more and itemize deductions on their taxes. New York City residents gave the second highest share of income, at 10.9 percent. At the bottom: El Paso, where residents donated 5.8 percent of their income, and Miami, at 4.6 percent.
    The study is the first to examine how housing, food, taxes, and other costs of living affect the percentage of income donated to charity -- and the first to make it possible to accurately compare whether people who live in high-cost regions, such as New York or San Francisco, are as generous as those who live in low-cost towns like Angleton, Tex., or Rexburg, Idaho.
    The Chronicle of Philanthropy (May 1, 2003) analysis sheds light on some of the key reasons that people in particular geographic areas give more than those in others. Among the major factors is race: In counties and cities with above-average numbers of blacks who make $50,000 or more, giving rates tend to be higher than in those dominated by whites of similar income levels.

    INNOVATION IN STRATEGIC PHILANTHROPY : LOCAL AND GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES. Helmut K. Anheier, Adele Simmons, David Winder,eds. New York : Springer, 2007. 236pp. Main Library Reference (1 East) Funding Center HV25 .I66 2007
    Philanthropy has been around for thousands of years but the study of philanthropic organizations and their role in a civil society is still recent. Most of the research focuses on organizations and institutions in developed market economies, in particular the United States. But in looking at other areas such as the global south and central and eastern Europe, major differences in a number of critical aspects emerge that challenge conventional assumptions and models of philanthropy. There, frequently resource-poor and hybrid organizations are very different from the professional, large-scale foundation in the US or western Europe, but they are nonetheless philanthropic institutions that are more reflective of local needs and capacities, and often with greater innovative potential rather than some ready-made, imported legal form could offer.
    This book is the result of case studies conducted as part of the International Network on Strategic Philanthropy, which focus on the role of philanthropy in the globalization process and in lesser developed economies. Throughout, they emphasize the lessons in innovation that can be taken from them, and together demonstrate that these emerging philanthropic institutions can develop their own methods and indeed offer criteria that the Western world might learn from.

    International Grantmaking
    http://www.ncfp.org/FGN-Sept_2004/UpFront.html
    Legal complexities involved in international grantmaking, particularly in the post-9/11 climate, make it advantageous and often obligatory for family foundations and individual family donors to seek professional guidance in establishing their charitable agenda abroad. While some family philanthropists may feel that their resources are too small to launch an international giving initiative, there are plenty of resources available to help guide them through this process, ensuring that they retain charitable tax benefits and avoid legal pit-falls—and most importantly, that their funds are used in the manner in which they were intended. Intermediary groups offer a wide variety of financial, administrative, and grantmaking assistance, and include both donor networks and collaboratives, as well as specialized philanthropic advisors.

    International Grantmaking: Patterns and Priorities

    International grantmaking constitutes an unusually complex cross-section of philanthropy. Geographically, it encompasses both giving in the U.S. for international activities and giving throughout the world. Topically, it is also without boundaries. U.S. foundations support on an international level nearly every activity, issue, and scholarly pursuit they fund domestically. Increasingly, the issues foundations tackle transcend borders, with the effect that the distinctions between domestic and international programs have become blurred.

    This book provides substantial profiles of individuals and families who made significant contributions to the American philanthropic tradition from the 1600s to the present. The volume encompasses men and women who significantly shaped American life by their dedication to voluntary service or charitable donations. The 78 entries describe 110 individuals (a number of essays describe entire families, such as the Rockefellers, Booths, and Guggenheims). Most essays are 1,500-2,500 words in length, but family entries range from 2,500-9,000 words. Each essay examines a philanthropist's early years, education, and career, and then focuses upon his or her philanthropic philosophy and actions. Particular attention is paid to an individual's motivations and justifications for philanthropy.
    Short samples of each philanthropist's writings are included, and the important societal contributions of each individual's philanthropic activity are assessed. All entries are cross-referenced and include a bibliographic list of references (print and nonprint sources). Many feature photos, and some describe the location of personal papers and other manuscript sources. This book also includes a preface, introduction, timeline, and lists of videos and children's books on American philanthropy. Sixty scholars contributed to this volume, each of who is notable for work on certain individuals or in the broad field of American philanthropy. These contributors did a great deal of original research, making this book the only source for detailed information on many of the included individuals.

    PHILANTHROPISTS & FOUNDATION GLOBALIZATION. Joseph C. Kiger. New Brunswick, N.J. : Transaction Publishers, c2008. 173pp. On order 02/08/08
    Philanthropists and Foundation Globalization addresses three interrelated aspects of foundation history. First, it reviews biographical-historical profiles of the founding philanthropists and their heirs engaged in international giving. Second, it discusses major governmental and non-governmental investigations and studies of foundations including domestic ones, and also foreign ones in which U.S. participants have played a prominent role, spanning the period 1912 to the present. Third, it chronicles foundation developments and activities in Europe at the close of the twentieth century. The volume provides a historical account of some U.S. foundations’ international activity in a particular region in a specific time period and their accomplishments. In addition to its other accomplishments, this volume is the first effort to place the Soros, MacArthur, Templeton and Kerkorian foundations in a global context. This is a major contribution to an important new area of public and academic interest.

    PHILANTHROPY AND THE NONPROFIT SECTOR IN A CHANGING AMERICA. Charles T. Clotfelter and Thomas Ehrlich, eds. Bloomington, Ind. : Indiana University Press, 1999. 560pp. Main Library Stacks HV91 .P57 1999
    What is the future of philanthropy in a changing America? This volume of agenda-setting essays suggests how philanthropy and the nonprofit sector might respond to a society which is seeing not only the devolution of federal programs to the state and local levels, but also the blurring of lines between nonprofit and for-profit organizations, globalization, tax and other regulatory reform, and the rise of privatization and market models, among other sea changes. The authors wrestle with such issues as strengthening relations with the public and for-profit sectors, educating and engaging the next generation, the dramatic growth in philanthropic resources, the continuing importance of religious institutions, and the special need to stress the basic values of American philanthropy.

    PHILANTHROPY IN AMERICA : A COMPREHENSIVE HISTORICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA. Dwight F. Burlingame, editor. Santa Barbara, Calif. : ABC-CLIO, c2004. 3 volumes. Main Library Stacks HV91 .P58 2004
    The principal jewels of Philanthropy in America are the more than 175 entries on every aspect of the philanthropic sector — from leading donors, to key institutions, to critical concepts. Ranging from a few columns to a number of pages, many of the entries will sound familiar: Dorothea Dix, "Fundraising," and the YMCA are all represented. Yet each entry presents a concise portrait filled with unexpected detail, along with source references and related resources for learning more about a topic. The encyclopedia also reaches far beyond what might commonly appear in such a work, capturing topics from "Philanthropy in Utopian Thought," to "Public Relations and Philanthropy for Nonprofits," to "Fundraising as a Profession."
    Among Philanthropy in America's other useful resources are "A Timeline of Key Events" in U.S. philanthropy, stretching from the 1600s through 2000; a "Glossary of Terms in Philanthropy," providing a handy reference for those less familiar with the sector; and excerpts from critical "Documents in Philanthropy," ranging from Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," to Booker T. Washington's "Raising Money," to the Koran.
