How Philanthropy Is Changing in Europe

“Throughout the first four parts of the book the author successfully draws up the intellectual heritage of European philanthropy… The last four parts of the book, however, show a deep knowledge and thorough understanding that reveal his past on the inside of fund-raising with colourful anecdotes and striking quotes… This book is relevant for all professionals and aspiring professionals in social profit strategic planning.” Voluntas

"At a time of great change, both in philanthropy and in Europe, this is an important book written by an accomplished and cerebral fundraising practitioner." Dr Beth Breeze, Centre for Philanthropy, University of Kent

“This book will be invaluable to anyone looking to improve effective giving in a new age of philanthropy." Guus Loomans, Charity manager, Rabobank
