Download or read book American Philanthropy written by Robert H. Bremner and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1988-06-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revised and enlarged edition of his classic work, Robert H. Bremner provides a social history of American philanthropy from colonial times to the present, showing the ways in which Americans have sought to do good in such fields as religion, education, humanitarian reform, social service, war relief, and foreign aid. Three new chapters have been added that concisely cover the course of philanthropy and voluntarism in the United States over the past twenty-five years, a period in which total giving by individuals, foundations, and corporations has more than doubled in real terms and in which major revisions of tax laws have changed patterns of giving. This new edition also includes an updated chronology of important dates, and a completely revised bibliographic essay to guide readers on literature in the field. "[This] book, as Bremner points out, is not encyclopedic. It is what he intended it to be, a pleasant narrative, seasoned with humorous comments, briefly but interestingly treating its principal persons and subjects. It should serve teacher and student as a springboard for further study of individuals, institutions and movements."—Karl De Schweinitz, American Historical Review "[American Philanthropy] is the starting point for both casual readers and academic scholars. . . . a readable book, important beyond its diminutive size."—Richard Magat, Foundation News

Download or read book American Charities written by Amos Griswold Warner and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Charities: A Study in Philanthropy and Economics On the appearance of Warner's "American Charities" fourteen years ago, its unique character was at once recognized. For that work is the first thoroughgoing scientific treatment of the most difficult and perhaps the most important of the ever widening group of sociological arts to which happily Professor Henderson has given the generic name of "social technology." It possesses an enduring, a vital quality which in the judgment of scholars has already won for it the rank of "classic in philanthropy." With remarkable clearness Dr. Warner perceived the new dynamic tendency which was destined soon to revolutionize economic and sociological thought. In the outset with trenchant phrase he exposes the sterility of the prevalent laissez faire dogma. "People are tired of the gospel of inaction," he exclaims, "and the teacher has been compelled to heed their demand for guidance in the doing of constructive work... Students must be trained in a more generous political economy than that of Senior and Miss Martineau," if they are to achieve success in organized philanthropy. Therefore the time is ripe for a new edition of the "American Charities." It is significant that in the statement of principles no essential change is required. The book deserves to be perpetuated because of its perennial scientific quality. This is the more remarkable considering that only two years ago, in Ward's epoch-making "Applied Sociology," appeared the first systematic discussion of the basic law which must govern all wise effort for social reform.

Download or read book A History of English Philanthropy written by Benjamin Kirkman Gray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Philanthropy: From the Dissolution of the Monasteries to the Taking of the First Census The choice of the period of the dissolution of the monasteries as a starting-point is convenient for two reasons. It was then that modern problems began to formulate themselves with great precision. And charity was then ceasing to be under the immediate direction and tutelage of the Church. Catholic charity is closely connected with the doctrine of poenitentia. The effect of almsgiving on the soul of the donor was theoretically more important than its effect on the body of the recipient. This motive for charity did not cease with the Reformation men have continued to give of their substance to the poor in recompense or contrition for the sin of their souls. It would hardly be possible to write about pre-reformation philanthropy without considering this subject of motive. It is quite easy to do so for the post Reformation period when, although this motive was still operative, it was ceasing to be explicit. I do not enter here into the deeply interesting study of the hidden springs of charitable impulse, but confine myself to the more objective study of social effects, to describing the achievement of the executive will, not probing the greater or less worth of soul which-may accompany it. I cannot, indeed, avoid the thoughts and feelings of philanthropists, but when I dwell on them, it is for their bearing on the nature of the work done and its greater or less social efficacy.

Download or read book Vicarious Philanthropy Classic Reprint written by Morrison I. Swift and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vicarious Philanthropy The early history of the New York University Settlement further illustrates what I am contending. Its financial support was for a longtime the most meagre, and though men of character, ability and education were there making a struggle to preserve the work begun in that outcast region, they were perpetually stared in the face by failure, (1) from lack of the sim plest thing in the world, quantities of which were a few streets off in super-excess and waste, money. Toynbee Hall in rich England (the happy land of the unemployed who pray to stony ears) has prefaced an appeal for help with a statement of its narrow circumstances, within twelve months. When anything is contributed it is on condition that there shall be no exposure ofthe luxurious causation of poverty, no making of any allusion about wealth and extravagance pointed enough to show recon struction where to strike. So was it in Philadelphia where there was a Guild, and afterward the beginnings ofa Social University. But the forwarders of this experiment toward perfection applied their minds and hearts to the cause of the epidemic of ignorance and suffering they were trying to stem, and knowing it to be inequitable riches, and saying, Irrigate the dry land with these riches, soon found their starry career checked by the treasurer and secretary of the gold-furnishing contingent of the enterprise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philanthropy and the State: Or Social Politics This appeared in the first place rather as feeling than as thought, and arose as a sense of need for national assistance in private charitable work. It was left to experience to demonstrate that a State which assists cannot refrain from exercising control. The change from philanthropy to social politics has been great, and the present volume seeks to illustrate the process. There has been some development in thought, but as yet we have no consistent doctrine of the relation of the State to the weaker classes of society (social pathology), and the work of assistance to these classes suffers in consequence. In the following pages I give illustrations of the bad practical results Of this lack Of a clear and consistent theory Of society.

Download or read book Women and Philanthropy written by Sondra Shaw-Hardy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women & Philanthropy Women's philanthropy has led the way in virtually reinventing the world of fundraising and ways of giving. When women make a gift, are in a leadership position, or volunteer their time to a nonprofit or charitable organization, they tend to base their efforts on solid principles such as compassion, values, vision, and responsibility. Women are increasingly engaged in giving circles, global giving, transformative gifts, entrepreneurial giving, faith-based giving, family and couple giving, and social change gifts. Based on extensive interviews and the authors' combined half century of experience, Women and Philanthropy shares new ways to better engage women in giving, as well as insights into developing women leaders in the nonprofit arena, and advises women seeking to develop as philanthropic leaders and shape the future for the better. Women and Philanthropy explores women's philanthropic endeavors, offering a wealth of information on key topics such as how and why women give, what it takes to develop a gender-sensitive fundraising program, how to develop a strategic plan to involve women as leaders and donors, and suggestions for working with women of wealth.
