Guidebooks

 

The Philanthropy Roundtable has produced a series of guidebooks on topics of interest within the philanthropic community. Intended to help donors achieve philanthropic excellence, our guidebooks are in-depth examinations of the principled and practical aspects of intelligent charitable giving.

 

Hard copies of our guidebooks are available, free of charge, to qualified individual donors, foundation trustees and staff, and corporate giving executives. (Shipping and handling fees apply.) If you would like us to send hard copies of a guidebook to your friends and colleagues in the philanthropic community, please contact us at 202.822.8333 or at main@PhilanthropyRoundtable.org.

 

All others are invited to download the free pdf version, or to call or email us to order hard copies at a price of $30 per guidebook.
