description: Nielsen is a counselor on philanthropy policy, and has advised such clients as John D. Rockefeller III, J. Paul Getty, and Robert O. Anderson, as well as major corporations and foundations. This text is a reprint of the volume originally published in 1985 by Truman Talley Books/E.P. Dutton, in which Nielsen examined 36 of the largest 22,000 active philanthropic foundations of the mid-1980s. The new edition contains the original text, with a brief, new introduction by the author in which he notes that profound changes have occurred in the past years, and encourages "critics and scholars younger than I" to conduct the research and study necessary "to write the new books that will illuminate this most remarkable American phenomenon: institutional philanthropy."
