Philanthropy is both timeless and timely. Ancient Romans, Medieval
aristocrats, and Victorian industrialists engaged in philanthropy,
as do modern-day Chinese billionaires, South African activists, and
Brazilian nuns. Today, philanthropic practice is evolving faster
than ever before, with donors giving their time, talents, and
social capital in creative new ways and in combination with their
financial resources. These developments are generating complex new
debates and adding new twists to enduring questions, from "why be
philanthropic?" to "what does it mean to do philanthropy 'better'?"
Addressing such questions requires greater understanding of the
contested purpose and diverse practice of philanthropy. With an
international and interdisciplinary focus, The Philanthropy Reader
serves as a one-stop resource that brings together essential and
engaging extracts from key texts and major thinkers, and frames
these in a way that captures the historical development, core
concepts, perennial debates, global reach, and recent trends of
this field. The book includes almost 100 seminal and illuminating
writings about philanthropy, equipping readers with the guiding
material they need to better grasp such a crucial yet complex and
evolving topic. Additional readings and discussion questions also
accompany the text as online supplements. This text will be
essential reading for students on philanthropy courses worldwide,
and will also be of interest to anyone active in the philanthropic
and nonprofit sectors - from donors and grantmakers, to advisers
and fundraisers.
