A book by Katherine Fulton and Andrew Blau of the Monitor Institute and Global Business Network (GBN). The book is the culmination of a four-year project, funded by the Kellogg and Packard foundations, on the future of U.S. philanthropy and how the field is being quietly and fundamentally transformed. It describes the pressures and trends that are reshaping philanthropy today, imagines what possible futures might look like, and provides practical ideas for funders who want to be more strategic and effective in the new philanthropic environment.

Read the report (available to download free on their website). Monitor and GBN have a section on their site with resources to help people link their websites and newsletters more easily to the futures work.
