Description: "What mobilizes giving and volunteering? What are the characteristics of communities that are engaged and those that are not? What can policymakers and non-profit managers do to change the current landscape in places with low levels of participation? These are the questions this timely collection addresses. It is the first book specifically dedicated to community giving and volunteering efforts with a best-practices element."--Jacket.
