In "Money Well Spent," philanthropy pioneers Paul Brest, former president of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Hal Harvey, president of ClimateWorks, unveil the blueprint for transformative philanthropy through the lens of strategic planning. This seminal work, awarded the 2009 Skystone Ryan Prize for Research, is a masterful guide for donors, foundations, and non-profits alike, aiming to elevate the impact of their philanthropic endeavors. Brest and Harvey dissect the anatomy of successful philanthropic initiatives, illustrating that the cornerstone of significant societal change is not merely the generosity of the gift but the wisdom and strategy behind it. Drawing from over a century's worth of combined experience and analyzing more than 100 case studies, "Money Well Spent" offers a comprehensive framework for achieving philanthropic goals. The authors address critical components of a smart strategy, from the inception of a philanthropic vision to the execution and measurement of impact, providing readers with the tools to ensure their philanthropy is both effective and transformative. This book is not just a manual but a manifesto for anyone committed to making a meaningful difference in the world through well-crafted, strategic philanthropy.
