The philanthropic landscape is changing dramatically as a new
generation of wealthy donors seeks to leave its mark on the public
sphere. Peter Frumkin reveals in "Strategic Giving" why these
donors could benefit from having a comprehensive plan to guide
their giving. And with this thoughtful and timely book, he provides
the much-needed framework to understand and develop this kind of
philanthropic strategy.
After listening for years to scores of individual and institutional
funders discuss the challenges of giving wisely, Frumkin argues
here that contemporary philanthropy requires a thorough rethinking
of its underlying logic. Philanthropy should be seen, he contends,
as both a powerful way to meet public needs and a meaningful way to
express private beliefs and commitments. He demonstrates that
finding a way to simultaneously fulfill both of these functions is
crucial to the survival of philanthropy and its potential to
support pluralism in society. And he goes on to identify the five
essential elements donors must consider when developing a
philanthropic strategy--the vehicle through which giving will flow,
the way impact will be achieved, the level of engagement and
profile sought, the time frame for giving, and the underlying
purpose of the gift. Frumkin's point is that donors must understand
strategic giving as the integration of these five critical
dimensions to giving.
Essential reading for donors, researchers, and anyone involved with
the world of philanthropy, "Strategic Giving" provides a new basis
for understanding philanthropic effectiveness and a promising new
way for philanthropy to achieve the legitimacy that has at times
eluded it.
