"Lucy Bernholz's critical analysis and clear language has captured the key issues in today's philanthropy and made it accessible to the non-technical reader. Our foundation's Board was able to make several significant operational decisions by beginning with Bernholz's analysis of the future of foundations."

"Lucy Bernholz's newest book is a lively and engaging exploration of the dynamic new philanthropy industry in America. It functions as a kind of ‘charitable GPS’ guiding the reader across the fascinating, varied, and shifting terrain of 21st Century charitable giving. But more importantly, it offers a well-conceived blueprint of new ways that private charitable resources can-and should-be better leveraged for greater effectiveness and impact in the public benefit sector."
Peter Hero, President
Community Foundation Silicon Valley

"Business success relies on networks—why would philanthropy be any different? Lucy Bernholz has charted how families and individuals are building "giving portfolios" by using multiple products and services within the philanthropic sector. She also challenges the philanthropic service sector to evolve to best serve these donors and communities. For people just getting started in giving—and for those already involved—this analysis provides practical insights into how to get the greatest results from their philanthropy."
