Memorably likened to giraffes, foundations are creatures that should not exist, but they do, surrounded by a certain mystique. In From Charity to Change Hilary Pearson demystifies the world of Canadian philanthropy, offering a portrait of today's foundation landscape and highlighting organizations that are acting with purpose on some of the most pressing social and economic challenges of our time: climate change, the future of cities, education and the evolving workforce, housing, and the urgent need to repair and build new relationships with Indigenous Peoples. Pearson, who for two decades worked with leaders of foundations across Canada, provides an insider's perspective on the ways these organizations continue to evolve. Through personal interviews with private funders - large and small, long established and newly formed - Pearson describes their strategies and the varied roles they play, whether as convenors, advocates, brokers, or partners. A timely contribution to the current debate on the legitimacy of organized philanthropy in an era of increasing social division and inequality, From Charity to Change makes a compelling case for the valuable role private philanthropy plays in addressing the challenges of our rapidly changing times.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346038231313,"sku":"CIN0228014506VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51328914850065,"sku":"CIN0228014506G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0228014506.jpg?v=1774951505"},{"product_id":"from-charity-to-change-book-hilary-m-pearson-9780228019985","title":"From Charity to Change","description":"The world of philanthropy and private foundations remains mysterious to most Canadians.

Parfois compar es de fa on m morable   des girafes, les fondations sont des cr atures qui ne devraient pas exister. Pourtant, elles existent bel et bien, et elles sont m me entour es d'une aura mystique. Dans   quoi sert la philanthropie?, Hilary Pearson d mystifie le monde de la philanthropie canadienne en dressant un portrait du paysage actuel des fondations et en mettant en lumi re des organisations qui agissent avec d termination face   certains des d fis sociaux et  conomiques les plus pressants de notre  poque: les changements climatiques, l'avenir des villes, l' ducation et l' volution de la main-d'oeuvre, le logement et le besoin urgent de r parer et d' tablir de nouvelles relations avec les peuples autochtones. Mme Pearson, qui a travaill  pendant deux d cennies aupr s des dirigeants de fondations   travers le Canada, nous offre un regard intime sur la fa on dont ces organisations continuent d' voluer. Par le biais d'entretiens personnels effectu s aupr s de la direction de fondations priv es - grandes ou petites,  tablies de longue date ou nouvellement cr  es - elle d crit les strat gies et les efforts d ploy s par des fondations canadiennes pour rassembler les parties prenantes de la soci t , faire le plaidoyer de causes importantes, servir comme interm diaires ou cr er des partenariats.   une  poque marqu e par des divisions sociales et des in galit s croissantes,   quoi sert la philanthropie? constitue une contribution opportune au d bat actuel sur la l gitimit  de la philanthropie organis e. Mme Pearson d fend avec conviction le r le primordial jou  par la philanthropie priv e pour relever les d fis d'une  poque en pleine mutation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53538427470097,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53538427633937,"sku":"NIN9780228022886","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780228022886.jpg?v=1778562736"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-hilary-m-pearson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
