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 which 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 oragnizations, globalization, tax and other regulatory reform, and the rise of privatization and market models, among other sea changes. The authors wrestle with such issues as strengthening relationships with the public and for-profit sectors, educating and engaging the next generation, the dramatic growth in philanthropic resources, the continuing importance of religious organizations, and the special need to stress the basic values of American philanthropy.
