Based on \u003ci\u003eForces for Good\u003c\/i\u003e, this groundbreaking book demonstrates how the six practices of high-impact nonprofits apply to donors aiming to advance social causes. Rather than focus on the mechanics of effective grantmaking, reporting, or evaluation, this book instead proposes that donors can become proactive catalysts for change by rising to meet the challenges of our increasingly interdependent world.

The message itself, and the book's organization, however, are right on the money. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key principles covered and includes reminders of important points. Some of their real-life examples are especially illustrative, such as the story about a San Diego foundation that asked residents what they hoped for in their community and used funds to create an environment tailored to those desires and needs. Also fascinating is their look at \"adaptive leaders\" who learn to influence beyond their control, take on a higher profile, and engage with media, a type of leadership the authors endorse but warn is \"not for the timid...power hungry.\" (Mar.)

The authors studied a diverse mix of high-impact foundations, corporations, and individuals. These inspirational stories range from the world’s largest private foundations and corporations to families and community and place-based foundations.
