Product Description
'That philanthropy, a quintessential institution of civil society, is in great need of renewal is without doubt -- what such a renewal might entail however is hotly debated. Anheier and Leat chart a clear course through this debate, offer a new model of philanthropy for the 21st century and explore its implications for foundation policy and management. This is applied social science at its best: conceptual, empirically grounded, constructive and practical.' - Lord Anthony Giddens, London School of Economics, UK
'Philanthropic Foundations are puzzling social institutions. In this book that challenges both supporters and critics of Foundations, Anheier and Leat offer their original account of the unique role these anomalous institutions can best play in societies. Their account is important not only to those who establish, manage, and operate these institutions, but also to those who regulate, benefit from, or feel threatened by these powerful institutions. The last group includes all of us citizens.' - Mark H. Moore, Harvard University, USA
'Anheier (public affairs, UCLA, and London School of Economics) and Leat (CASS Business School, London, UK) argue that current approaches in philanthropy are not effective enough and that foundations in the US, UK, Europe, and Australia need to transform themselves for the twenty-first century. They describe how foundations can use a creative approach, what it involves, how it can be managed, problems that may arise, and end results. Creativity and innovation are discussed, followed by vignettes and nine case studies of creative philanthropy in organizations.' -- Art Book News Annual, Winter 2007
