Book excerpt: Each year, the average American household donates almost $2700 to charity. Yet, most donors know little about the American charitable sector and the nonprofit organizations they support. In With Charity For All, former NPR CEO Ken Stern exposes a field that few know: 1.1 million organizations, 10% of the national workforce, and $1.5 trillion in annual revenues. He chronicles the many flaws in the charity system, from tax-exempt charities such as bowl games, roller derby leagues, and beer festivals, to charitable hospitals that pay their executives into the millions, to--worst of all--organizations that raise millions of dollars without ever cracking the problem they have pledged to solve. With Charity For All provides an unflinching look at the philathropic sector but also offers an inspiring prescription for individual giving and widespread reform.

Download or read book Recovering from Racism written by Larry Lloyd and published by Engage Faith. This book was released on 2014 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred Davis: I was introduced to Larry Lloyd in 1975 when he was in the process of making history in Memphis. He was about to start the first Young Life program in an African American high school in Memphis. I was on the city council and the high school was in my district, as was my home and business. My home, and eventually, the Lloyd family's home was in Orange Mound, one of the largest black communities in the country. He and I knew that it would take some ?inside? help to get a white boy in a school like that! Larry has a heart for the inner city, which in Memphis has largely meant the African American community.Then, in 1987, he started the Memphis Leadership Foundation which now serves as an umbrella for a plethora of ministries that get at the real issues facing the inner city.Larry doesn't just ?talk the talk? but he ?walks the walk.' I am proud to be his mentor!Verley Sangster: After the assassination of Dr. King, Larry, a native of Memphis, TN, dedicated himself to be a healer in the city of Memphis. In order to fulfill his vision he has helped create multiple ministries to the marginalized, such as quality housing for the poor, a camp for inner city youth, jobs programs for individuals that have been incarcerated, training programs to educate leaders to work with youth in the urban community and many other such services. In my opinion, because of Larry's leadership for the past 40 years, Memphis now has the finest model in the nation of a holistic approach for reconciling the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. This book offers the roadmap to equip others to become healers in the communities they love
