The third edition of Gary’s classic book aims to show readers how to align and integrate their values, passions, and dreams for their communities and families into their giving plans. Inspired Philanthropy explains how to make a difference by creating giving and legacy plans, suggests questions to ask charities before making a donation, and spells out how to work with advisors and charity leaders for better outcomes. In addition to updating statistics contained in earlier incarnations of this book, the new edition includes a discussion on the implications of Warren Buffett’s historically large philanthropic act; new legacy planning tools; expanded resources on youth, giving circles, and communities of colour; key questions for advisors and donors; and worksheets and resources available on the CD which comes with the book. Whilst much of this material is clearly designed for the US market, there is much in Gary’s message and approach to recommend it the British reader.
