Praise for BILLIONS OF DROPS in MILLIONS OF BUCKETS
""Billions of Drops in Millions of Buckets" provides a bracing
and original look at philan-thropy that offers a much-needed
corrective to conventional wisdom. Steve Goldberg combines a
resolve to understand why so much philanthropy accomplishes so
little enduring social change with a timely and serious proposal to
reinvigorate nonprofit capital markets through the simplest of
insights: getting more of the money to where it can do the most
good. This book will change how forward-looking philanthropists,
foundations, and policymakers think about the relationship between
charitable giving and the transformative capacity of social
entrepreneurs."
--Jerr Boschee, founder and Executive Director, The Institute for
Social Entrepreneurs; Visiting Professor of the Practice in Social
Enterprise, Carnegie Mellon University
"Goldberg's arguments are logical next steps in the rapidly
evolving discussion of social capital markets. He offers ambitious
proposals informed by the reality of current practices and focused
on an achievable set of goals. He fully recognizes the potential
for restructuring that is inherent in this time of financial
hardship. Real change relies on big ideas, and Steve Goldberg
offers us several."
--Lucy Bernholz, author of "Creating Philanthropic Capital Markets:
The Deliberate Evolution"
"When I first heard about 'evidence-based medicine, ' I thought:
'you mean it isn't?' Read this book and that's how you'll feel
about 'performance-based philanthropy.' Goldberg takes some of the
best current management thinking and applies it to social
enterprise, illuminating both the encouraging successes of social
entrepreneurs and the barriers they face. Even better, he presents
compelling ideas for making the social sector vastly more
effective."
--Christopher Meyer, Chief Executive, Monitor Networks
"Goldberg calls for more 'performance-driven philanthropy, '
where nonprofits are rewarded based on their results, in place of
the current dysfunction. It is an important call and a valuable
contribution to discussions about how to improve nonprofits in the
U.S. and internationally."
--Martin Brookes, Chief Executive, New Philanthropy Capital
""Billions of Drops.".. is a must-read romp through emerging
fields of social entrepre-neurship and nonprofit capital
markets."
