Customer Reviews

If you're interested in making a difference--read this!

An easy read, but one filled with wisdom. Excellent examples of success and failure among this nation's philanthropists. Anyone contemplating significant philanthropy now or in the future should buy this book and refer to it once a year. Good overview and inspiring stories of the heart, mind and soul behind remarkable donors.
