In the first half of the twenty-first century, giving to
family and community foundations alone will be ten times in
today's dollars what it was throughout the entire twentieth
century. Yet despite tremendous innovation in the social
sector, philanthropy's natural state is under-performance.
Not since Andrew Carnegie wrote The Gospel of Wealth has a
book been written that provides practical guidance for
donors to get the most impact from their giving. Almost a decade ago, Thomas J. Tierney left Bain & Company
to co-found The Bridgespan Group, a nonprofit focused on
helping donors and nonprofit leaders to develop and execute
strategies to accelerate social change. In Give Smart,
Tierney pools his hands-on knowledge with philanthropy
expert Joel L. Fleishman to create a much-needed primer for
philanthropists and the nonprofit organizations they
support. Drawing from personal experiences, testimonials,
and Bridgespan's case studies, including those of the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation and the John D. and Catherine
T. MacArthur Foundation, Give Smart picks up where Jim
Collins' Good to Great and the Social Sectors left off and
presents the first in-depth, expert guide for engaged donors
and nonprofit leaders.
