"The Essence of Strategic Giving"
by Peter Frumkin

 

Distilled from Frumkin’s larger award-winning volume, Strategic Giving, this short version provides an easy-to-read overview of how to give effectively. The book uses real-life examples—ever wondered how Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis structured her charitable lead trust?—to demonstrate the practical effects of philanthropy for both donors and recipients. It also offers keen insight into important challenges and relationships in charitable giving.
