Philanthropy in  Transition examines the unique role that charitable giving has played in  the US, from colonial times to the present. The rising importance of new means  of contributing, particularly giving through buying or investing, is considered.  These new models of philanthropy have expanded the ways by which ethical  consumers or investors can support a cause. Although these innovations represent  a revolution in the structure of philanthropy, they introduce significant  complexity to the act of giving – donors are far removed from recipients – and  this may weaken the impact of contributing. This transformation is also likely  to accelerate the rising importance of web-based promotion and fund-raising, as  traditional nonprofits compete with social market enterprises and social impact  investmentsfor funds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349484270\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137394484\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 173\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47678225907852,"sku":"9781349484270","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349484270.jpg?v=1776563135","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349484270","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
