Opis

This text fills a gap in the literature on philanthropic organisations and how they intertwine with community development. Maria Martinez-Cosio and Mirle Bussell use their own first hand experiences and research to forge a new path for academic research in an area where it has been lacking. Drawing on the history of philanthropic funding, the authors look at developments in the last 20 years in detail, focusing on key case studies from across America.
