{"product_id":"9781586489892","title":"Give Smart: Philanthropy that Gets Results","description":"In the first half of the twenty-first century, giving to family and community foundations alone will be ten times in today's dollars what it was throughout the entire twentieth century. Yet despite tremendous innovation in the social sector, philanthropy's natural state is under-performance. Not since Andrew Carnegie wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Gospel of Wealth\u003c\/i\u003e has a book been written that provides practical guidance for donors to get the most impact from their giving.\u003cp\u003eAlmost a decade ago, Thomas J. Tierney left Bain\u0026amp;Company to co-found The Bridgespan Group, a nonprofit focused on helping donors and nonprofit leaders to develop and execute strategies to accelerate social change. In \u003ci\u003eGive Smart\u003c\/i\u003e, Tierney pools his hands-on knowledge with philanthropy expert Joel L. Fleishman to create a much-needed primer for philanthropists and the nonprofit organizations they support. Drawing from personal experiences, testimonials, and Bridgespan's case studies, including those of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Give Smart picks up where Jim Collins' \u003ci\u003eGood to Great and the Social Sectors\u003c\/i\u003e left off and presents the first in-depth, expert guide for engaged donors and nonprofit leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134192894192,"sku":"9781586489892","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781586489892_p0.jpg?v=1763806865","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781586489892","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
