Fleishman, Joel L.

Fleishman presents a thorough picture of the foundation industry today. His practical and well-researched treatise should be held by university, public, and law libraries.

Though the target audience here is big-ticket philanthropists like foundations—or those seeking to establish foundations—the principles and strategies can also apply to small-scale donors seeking the best returns on their nonprofit investments. The case studies of well-known philanthropists, from Andrew Carnegie to Michael J. Fox, make for compelling and inspirational reading.
