  • Source : SAGE Journals
  • 1 January 1970
This book review critically examines "Challenges for Nonprofits and Philanthropy: The Courage to Change" by Pablo Eisenberg. The reviewer asserts Eisenberg’s central argument: many major foundations and philanthropic endeavors lack courage, are arrogant, irrelevant, and fail to address critical issues of equity and poverty in American society. Eisenberg also critiques nonprofits for lacking conviction and succumbing to funder influence. The book, primarily a collection of essays from The Chronicle of Philanthropy, advocates for higher ethical standards, accountability, and a renewed focus on helping the poor and disadvantaged. The review praises Eisenberg’s fearless critique and aspirational vision for leadership.

Book Review: American Creed: Philanthropy and the Rise of Civil Society, 1700-1865

  • Source : SAGE Journals
  • 1 January 1970
This book review analyzes "American Creed: Philanthropy and the Rise of Civil Society, 1700-1865" by Kathleen D. McCarthy. The review highlights McCarthy’s selective coverage, focusing on philanthropic and reform groups of unenfranchised women and African Americans who used petition and protest. It discusses how these organizations, unlike Franklin’s associational experiments, often served as "engines of contention," particularly in the struggles against the American Colonization Society and early female activism. The review also notes McCarthy’s tracing of charities funded by capitalist enterprise or government subsidies, and the emerging distinction between two versions of civil society leading to the Civil War.
