Tools for your Philanthropy
Book: Inspired Philanthropy
This newest edition of the classic book shows how anyone can align and integrate values, passions, and dreams for their communities and families into their plans. Inspired Philanthropy explains how to make a difference by creating giving and legacy plans, tells what questions to ask nonprofits, and spells out how to help partner with advisors and nonprofit leaders for inspired outcomes.
“Inspired Philanthropy is one of the best tools for donors, development people and advisors ever to be published.”
-Phil Cubeta, Former head of CAP, Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy, of the American College and “The Mr. Rogers of Philanthropy.”
