Synopsis
Private foundations have been the dynamo of social change since their invention at the beginning of the last century. Yet just over 10 percent of the public knows they even exist and for those who are aware of them, as well as even those who seek grants from them, their internal workings remain a complete mystery. Joel Fleishman knows the sector like few others, and in this ground-breaking book he explains both the history of foundations,with their fledgling beginnings in the era of the robber barons seeking social respectability,through to the present day. This book shows how, why foundations matters, and how the future of foundations can provide a vital spur to the engine of the American, and the world's, economy,if they are properly established and run., Private foundations have been the dynamo of social change since their invention at the beginning of the last century.

This book shows how, why foundations matters, and how the future of foundations can provide a vital spur to the engine of the American, and the world's, economy, if they are properly established and run., Foundations are a peculiarly American institution. They have been the dynamo of social change since their invention at the beginning of the last century. Yet they are cloaked in secrecy -- their decision-making and operations are inscrutable to the point of obscurity-leaving them substantially unaccountable to anyone. Joel Fleishman has been in and around foundations for almost half a century . . . running them, sitting on their boards, and seeking grants from them. And in this groundbreaking book he explains the history of foundations, tells the stories of the most successful foundation initiatives -- and of those that have failed -- and explains why it matters. The baby boomer generation is going to participate in the largest transfer of wealth in history when it passes on its assets to its successor generation. The third sector is about to become more powerful than ever. This book shows how foundations can provide a vital spur to the engine of the American, and the world's, economy -- if they are properly established and run., Private foundations have been the dynamo of social change since their invention at the beginning of the last century.

    Excellent service! The Cd collection was brand new as the vendor described. The price of the item was the best I found on eBay and the shipping was free! The packaging was very professional, there was not a chance for the merchandise to be damaged. The delivery was done at the speed of light and communication with the seller was fast and very responsive. Overall I had an amazing experience with SweetPlumBooks, they do have excellent prices, fast delivery and outstanding costumer service.
