But the rest of us know little about effective giving or gifting, and when we face such a decision we are not sure where to go with it. This practical guide, written by a national leader in the field of philanthropy, helps the reader to make good, effective use of the money he or she can spare for a good cause. Easy to read, it provides many useful tips which can save the potential giver a great deal of time and money, and maximise the impact of the gift.
