It Ain't What You Give, It's the Way That You Give It: Making Charitable Donations That Get Results

Some charities achieve much more than others, and some donors are more helpful than others - some `help' actually hinders charities. Wouldn't you rather that your donations achieved a lot rather than a little?

This book shows how to do that, explaining what you need to know and what you need to do.

Packed with information, insights and examples - plus eclectic tales from Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, Private Eye and Harvard Business Review - it's invaluable whether you're giving money, time or anything else, and whether you're a school-child, a company or a billionaire.

Note the price of £16.01. That is the date (1601) of the Charitable Uses Act which defined charitable activity for hundreds of years not just in England and Wales but in many countries around the world and has only fairly recently been overhauled and updated.
