The Art of Giving: Where the Soul Meets a Business Plan

The Truth Is Generally Simple

There are people who "get it" and then there's everyone else. 8 years ago, Dale and I found ourselves in partnership with Andy & Charles as we started a not-for-profit. We were comfortable doing this as we had worked as Board Members with many small 501c3s in the arts and I'd chaired several boards. The first thing I realized was that we had a huge advantage as we worked out of the ACBP office and had "bumping into each other time" with Charles and Jeff and Jason Soloway and Steve Novick and John Hoover.........and a staff of terrific people who were always prepared to help.

I am delighted that Jeff & Charles have written this book. It's terrific............and I'm taking one to a meeting I'm having tomorrow with a Development Director who could have saved herself this breakfast meeting had she listened to what I'd already told her..........but people often don't listen and we are amongst that small group of people who are really clear as to where we fit into the world of philanthropy. Having hung out with Jeff and Charles all these years has made us look deeply into ourselves, find our niche, find great partners and then GO FOR IT.

Now............buy the book and read it.
