Wednesday, November 5 - "Money Well Spent: A Strategic Plan for Smart Philanthropy"

Two major figures in the world of philanthropy and climate change, Hal Harvey and Paul Brest, have a new book coming out called "Money Well Spent: A Strategic Plan for Smart Philanthropy" . Hal Harvey is President of ClimateWorks Foundation, Paul Brest heads up the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

Here's a description from the publisher (Bloomberg):

"Starting with the premise that strategy makes all the difference in effective giving, the book shows foundations and individual philanthropists the best way to design a strategy to achieve their stated philanthropic goals. Drawing on examples from many different foundations, the authors give philanthropists the framework necessary to harness expert knowledge in various sectors."

I just ordered my copy from the LIbrary and am looking forward to including a few short excerpts in future posts.
