Based on \u003ci\u003eForces for Good\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains robust case studies depicting every type of philanthropy (corporate, community, operating, specialized, and large private and family foundations)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes easy to use \"Key Takeaways\" tailored for donors at the \"beginner\" and \"experienced\" levels of catalytic philanthropy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthors are internationally-acclaimed philanthropic, nonprofit, and corporate social responsibility strategy experts who frequently speak and train on high-impact philanthropy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonating is just one means of achieving impact--and while it's an important starting point, it's not the endgame.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than focus on the mechanics of effective grantmaking, reporting, or evaluation, \u003ci\u003eDo More Than Give\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how foundation leaders, trustees, and individual donors can rise to address the complex challenges facing our increasingly interdependent world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by Leslie Crutchfield, John Kania, and Mark Kramer (three philanthropy experts), \u003ci\u003eDo More Than Give\u003c\/i\u003e shows how a distinct breed of donors helps solve pressing social and environmental problems.
