Philanthropy and the
Nonprofit Sector in a Changing America
Charles T. Clotfelter and Thomas
Ehrlich, eds. (Indiana University Press, 1999)
What is the future of philanthropy in a changing America?
This volume of agenda-setting essays suggests how philanthropy and the
nonprofit sector might respond to a society that is seeing not only the
devolution of federal programs to the state and local levels, but also
the blurring of lines between nonprofit and for-profit organizations,
globalization, tax and other regulatory reform, and the rise of privatization
and market models, among other changes.
The authors wrestle with such issues as strengthening relations
with the public and for-profit sectors, educating and engaging the next
generation, the dramatic growth in philanthropic resources, the continuing
importance of religious institutions, and the special need to stress the
basic values of American philanthropy. Hardcover,
