Title: Beyond charity
Description: The creation of the Rockefeller Foundation in 1913 was in itself a marked innovation in the development of modern philanthropy. Foundation staff, trustees and grantees had to learn by doing. The topical chapters in Beyond charity explore the evolution of the Foundation's practice from the board room to the field office. For professionals or volunteers entering the field of philanthropy, each chapter offers an opening essay that highlights abiding issues in the field. The stories and characters that illuminate these themes make the history come to life.
