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.A co-publication with the
