This book focuses on two trends that have emerged: strategic philanthropy and increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in philanthropy. Amidst persistent societal inequities, the proliferation of philanthropy leaves one wondering about the potential of this expanding industry to influence social change as well as include constituents beyond donors and their staff. The book offers several case studies of different types of foundations from around the world that demonstrate several tactics used to develop plans that are both strategic and inclusive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Maurrasse guides the reader through a deep examination of philanthropy, its history, evolution and role in society. He challenges us to answer questions regarding philanthropy's impact, value and relevance; particularly given the demographic shifts in the country as well as the call for diversity, equity and inclusion. We learn through case studies, about the landscape of philanthropy in America and internationally, in the U.K., Africa and global philanthropy efforts by American philanthropy. Ultimately, he elegantly reminds us of philanthropy's responsibility to listen and learn from the communities in which serves, and its inextricable link to the nonprofit sector, if it is to be an agent of change.\" \u003ci\u003e–Janine Lee, President and CEO, Southeastern Council of Foundations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The issue of inclusive philanthropy is a vital one for funders today, so David Maurrasse’s book \u003cem\u003ePhilanthropy and Society\u003c\/em\u003e comes at a particularly opportune moment for our field. If funders wants to be as effective as possible in reducing the disparities we see today in nearly every aspect of individual and community well-being, it must include the perspectives, voices and participation of the people who are the beneficiaries of their philanthropic efforts. Foundations are always hungry for good examples of how their peers are addressing inclusion in their work, so I’m pleased that this book is centered on foundation case studies. \u003cem\u003ePhilanthropy and Society\u003c\/em\u003e is a welcome addition to the body of work on how our field can get better at addressing diversity, equity and inclusion in philanthropy.\" –\u003ci\u003eDavid Biemesderfer, President \u0026amp; CEO, United Philanthropy Forum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An expert insider’s analysis of how philanthropies are shaping our efforts to make the world a better place and how they can be more inclusive, representative and effective in that quest.

Makes a strong argument for engagement, place-based solutions, strategic planning, cross-sector partnerships.
