Do More Than Give (eBook)

How donors change the world through the six catalytic practices
of high-impact philanthropy

Do More Than Give provides a blueprint for individuals,
philanthropists, and foundation leaders to increase their impact.
Based on Forces for Good, this groundbreaking book
demonstrates how the six practices of high-impact nonprofits apply
to donors aiming to advance social causes. Rather than focus on the
mechanics of effective grantmaking, reporting, or evaluation, this
book instead proposes that donors can become proactive catalysts
for change by rising to meet the challenges of our increasingly
interdependent world. Key principles include: going beyond check
writing/traditional volunteering; advocating for change; leveraging
business; forging peer networks; empowering individuals; leading
adaptively; and developing learning organizations.

* Contains robust case studies depicting every type of
philanthropy (corporate, community, operating, specialized, and
large private and family foundations)

* Includes easy to use "Key Takeaways" tailored for donors at the
"beginner" and "experienced" levels of catalytic philanthropy

* Authors are internationally-acclaimed philanthropic, nonprofit,
and corporate social responsibility strategy experts who frequently
speak and train on high-impact philanthropy

In good economic times or bad, this book provides guidance for
givers to increase the impact of their charitable resources and go
beyond check-writing to help solve problems and change the
world.
