PRAISE FOR THE GENEROSITY CRISIS

"The Generosity Crisis confronts us with alarming trends in charitable giving. But it isn't a bad news book about America. On the contrary, it shows us how donors and nonprofits can connect in new and better ways to inflect giving levels and lift each other up."

-- Arthur C. Brooks, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"A long legacy of nonprofit change-making is woven into our social fabric, and critical to enduring change. And yet, donors have been dropping out of traditional charitable giving at a steady pace. The Generosity Crisis speaks the hard truth, calling on nonprofit leaders to reimagine their relationships with everyday philanthropists. This is a book that should be highlighted, dog-eared, and pencil-scrawled by the time you reach the last pages."

--Shannon McCracken, CEO, The Nonprofit Alliance

"The need to inspire donors and engage with them more deeply has never been greater. In The Generosity Crisis: The Case for Radical Connection to Solve Humanity's Greatest Challenges, the authors challenge all of us who strive to transform the world through philanthropy to think differently about how we engage with donors and provide us with a roadmap to achieve lasting relationships with those who support our organizations. A very timely and much needed work!"

--Alice Ayres, President and CEO, Association for Healthcare Philanthropy

"A new approach to philanthropy is urgently needed. Over $1 trillion is sitting idle in private foundations while at least $150 billion is stored in donor advised funds. With multiple crises facing humanity, now is the time to put this capital to good use and ensure a more sustainable and prosperous future for all. There is certainly no shortage of scalable solutions waiting to be deployed by charities. They just need access to capital. This book charts a path forward on how to do exactly that, how to revolutionize giving and overcome the generosity crisis NOW."

-- Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder and Chief Policy, Impact, and Government Relations Officer, Global Citizen

"The Generosity Crisis provides an engaging depiction of the worrisome implications of the decline in everyday giving in the U.S., proposing the solution of radical connection as a vehicle for building successful and meaningful philanthropic relationships. A fluid read that synthesizes a number of compelling experiences with success."

--Dr. Amir Pasic, Dean of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University
