Readers will learn what global leaders and philanthropists are looking for when they invest and support an organization today. Major and general gift donors in local communities are also increasingly making these same demands. With his unique, blunt and easy-mannered style, Wayne Elsey explains in simple terms how those who are interested in helping society should think about the nonprofit business, leadership, money and passion in order to succeed. Anyone interested in the social sector can pick up Elsey’s book and come away with valuable nuggets. One of the key messages in his book is that while charity is important and will always be needed, there is an increased focus on philanthropy. The world has seen enormous changes in the last decade, which have affected many industries, including the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. There are many reasons for the changes that are taking place. We are seeing unprecedented advances in science, technology and globalization. All of this is affecting how we work, communicate, learn and obtain information.
