The American industrialist and philanthropist Armand Hammer is quoted as saying “I just want to leave the world a little better than I found it.” A Guide to Giving is designed to help you do the same – whether you are a budding philanthropist or an engaged donor and whether you want to give money, time, expertise or encouragement.
With philanthropy playing an increasingly important role in people’s lives, the third edition of A Guide to Giving is in a league of its own in providing up-to-date practical information, details of organisations that can help, and features on some of the UK’s leading high-net-worth donors. For advisers like us who are involved in helping private clients create their own effective giving strategies, A Guide to Giving is an equally valuable reference.
Susan Mackenzie, editor, and her team are to be congratulated for their professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm in leading this initiative. We are delighted to recommend A Guide to Giving to individuals, companies and foundations considering how they can make a difference.
