A Major New Project: Philanthropy in America is a giant undertaking—every year now, more than $350 billion is handed by individuals, foundations, and businesses to a riot of good causes. Rates of giving are two to five times higher in the U.S. than in comparable nations. Privately funded efforts to solve social problems, enrich culture, and strengthen society are among the most significant American undertakings, and have been for hundreds of years.
There is, however, no definitive information source which places U.S. philanthropy in an appropriate context. This authoritative, highly readable new reference work will fix that. In a single printed volume, and easily accessed Web companion, we will chronicle the greatest achievements of American philanthropy, profile the most influential donors, and summarize the best ideas that have been thought, spoken, and written about charitable giving in our country.
The Almanac will conveniently encapsulate the history, purposes, effects, and modern direction of private giving. It will lend missing perspective, and serve as a handy encyclopedic reference. People serious about donating money to good causes will consult it again and again as they refine their giving. And general readers attracted to fascinating history, quirky Americana, and lively biographies will enjoy the brisk narrative of this meaty new book.
How Philanthropy Changed My Life: American leaders who owe their successes to the creative giving in a free society. The Philanthropy Roundtable is America’s leading network of charitable donors working to strengthen our free society, uphold donor intent, and protect the freedom to give. Members include individual philanthropists, families, and private foundations.
“The Roundtable is the leading voice in philanthropy for objectivity, integrity, open-mindedness, and stewardship with a commitment to measurable results.”
—John M. Templeton Jr.
