My Journey In Philanthropy

This book has been many years in the making.  It is a book in three parts.  The first part, the Memoir section, deals with the influences in my life that guided me into the field of philanthropy.  It tells about the ups and downs, the straight  lines and the detours involved in achieving my philanthropy career.

 

The second section, Reflective Essays, relates 14 essays on different aspects of both sides of the philanthropy field – the asking and the giving sides.  It contains the definition and the description of a newly-coined word  by me– “philanthropoid” – that, in itself, I think, you will find a bit humorous.

 

The third section, True Stories, contains 32 brief, vignette stories that have actually happened on both sides of philanthropy.  These stories are humorous, quirky, unusual, and even emotionally moving in a few cases.  They will point out that the field of philanthropy is not the totally serious, uneventful, somber, sedate endeavor that many people think it is.
