As a true reflection of its author, this book embodies a spirit of fierce commitment and dedication to causes greater than one’s self.” —\u003cb\u003eAna Oliveira, \u003c\/b\u003ePresident and CEO, The New York Women’s Foundation \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “\u003ci\u003eSuccessful Philanthropy\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to action to each of us to give back to our communities. It is both a pleasure and an inspiration to read definitions of being a philanthropist and the heartfelt gift of giving, and the manner in which we can all help. Whether in small or bountiful ways, we can all engage in philanthropy. As an engaged and dedicated Board Member of French Heritage Society, Jean epitomizes the values of a true philanthropist; she is generous, caring, concerned, and determined. With this same passion, she has written a book that is both inspiring but also equally practical in its detailed explanation of how individual philanthropy can be understood and pursued by each of us.

I am fortunate to have done both. While the etymology of the concept of ‘Doing well by doing good’ is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, the behavior is quintessential Jean Shafiroff. She evokes the true spirit of giving, philanthropy, and volunteerism every day of her life in her passion for and service to important causes and organizations.” —\u003cb\u003eSteven M.
