Böcker av Ph. D. Steven E. Mayer

This book is for anyone who gets asked at least ten times a week to give money to a charitable organization-anything from your college or place of worship to your community's food shelf or animal shelter, or any of the national or international nonprofit organizations working to keep the world from falling apart and others working to create solutions that might hold the world together. Your charitable giving budget goes only so far, and you've probably wondered how to choose among all these options. This book gives you guidelines and tips on how to consider a nonprofit's strengths and weaknesses and helps you prioritize requests so you can separate the wheat from the chaff. It gives an inside look at how nonprofits work, their missions and intended beneficiaries, and their challenge to "make progress on their mission"-the bottom line of any nonprofit organization. Above all, it helps you choose a set of donations or investments that stand up to your own scrutiny so you can feel your choices are meaningful and consistent with your values.
