Description

This new book by Sondra Shaw-Hardy and Martha A. Taylor breaks new ground by closely examining issues specific to women in their philanthropic endeavors.

Shaw-Hardy and Taylor, who co-founded the Women's Philanthropy Institute in 1991 (now a program of the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University), provide essential, insightful information through stories about women philanthropists. By examining the role and impact of women in giving, volunteering and social involvement, the authors show how women are making a difference in the world.

"Written for every development officer who wants to gain greater insight into charitable giving by women, this thorough, engaging book makes a compelling case for the importance of engaging women as volunteers and as donors," says CASE President John Lippincott.

Topics covered include:
• Acknowledging the differences between men and women philanthropists
• Stages, styles and generational differences among women philanthropists
• Gender-sensitive development
• Giving circles
• The future of women's philanthropy
