"The fundamental questions that Peter Frumkion raises in this book
are important, very timely, and crucial for any student of
philanthropy. . . . When the next congressional committee to study
the role of philanthropy in the American society convenes,
Strategic Giving . . . will be its first and foremost source of
guidance. This book is a must for all students of the nonprofit
sector and philanthropy, as it covers new territories and opens a
plethora of new intellectual challenges."--Ram Cnaan "Journsal of
Sociology and Social Welfare"
"This book represents a major contribution to the analysis of
philanthropic giving in the United States. . . . The most important
contribution of Strategic Giuving is that it conceptualises
philanthropy. By doing so it helps to show its limits as well as
its strengths. Frumkin identifies the distinctive featue of
phlanthropy in the the fact that this allows private resources to
be used to enact a private vision of the public good."--Francesca
Borgonovi "Social Policy"
"Thought-provoking . . . [Strategic Giving] makes an extremely
strong case for so-called planned giving."--Christopher Ondaatje
"Times Higher Education Supplement" (10/13/2006 12:00:00 AM)
"Peter Frumkin has written an important and provocative book that
will be read and debated for years to come. Strategic Giving is
both a comprehensive, critical analysis of modern philanthropy and
a useful guide for wealthy donors who want to distribute their
money to meet public needs as effectively as possible."--Pablo
Eisenberg "Stanford Social Innovation Review"
