Riassunto

Praise for A Passion for Giving

"Klein and Berrie have produced a great book that manages to make complex issues simple. It blends with grace and craft the deep with the practical and the concrete with the philosophical. It is a precious tool for both the neophyte and the experienced philanthropist. It is both a useful manual and a profound exploration of the core values of giving. In a word, this book is a true gift."
–Andres Spokoiny, President and CEO, Jewish Funders Network

"Through the years, many people have asked us why we set up our family foundation and how we went about accomplishing this goal. The 'why' is easy to answer: we are fortunate enough to be able to give back and help others in need. The 'how' is perfectly explained in this compelling and very informative book by Peter Klein and Angelica Berrie."
–Marilyn and Barry Rubenstein, The Marilyn and Barry Rubenstein Family Foundation

"This book should be required reading for new donors and experienced philanthropists. Klein and Berrie have crafted a winning combination of practical guidelines and heartfelt personal accounts to create a moving call to action for anyone who wishes to give back. The stories remind us that when philanthropy, an intensely personal journey, is coupled with deep learning, transformation occurs for both the recipient and the donor."
–Debra Mesch, PhD, Professor and Director, Women's Philanthropy Institute, IUPUI

"I wish I could have had this book to guide me and refer to as my wife, Andrea, and I launched our Harbor Glow Foundation a decade ago. We would have been much more efficient in the process and more focused in our direction from the get-go. Peter and Angelica capture the spirit and nitty-gritty of a family foundation."
–Michael Leeds, Co-Chair, Harbor Glow Foundation

Dalla quarta di copertina

"While a private foundation is by no means the only method by which to illustrate or execute one's love for people, it is certainly a primary choice of many individuals and families when considering a philanthropic gifting program, a program that can incorporate the entire familyfor generations to come. A private foundation is much like a family orchard or vineyard; the seedlings are planted and cared for and then passed down to the next generation to continue this care and harvesting."
