NEF - New book on philanthropy in Europe

Numerous books have been published on American philanthropy, but its European counterpart has been largely neglected. A new book, Philanthropy in Europe - a rich past, a promising future, edited by Norine MacDonald and Luc Tayart de Borms, will start to fill this gap.

As the title of this book suggests, philanthropy in Europe is rooted in a rich past and is looking to a promising future. The book, comprising profiles and essays, showcases the diversity of philanthropic impulses, a leitmotif that has fuelled the dynamism of the sector throughout history. This dynamism continues today as it follows - and shapes - the contours of Europe's evolving social, political and economic fabric.
