Philanthropy in Europe: A rich past, a promising future - Norine MacDonald and Luc Tayart de Borms (eds)

Gerry Salole, Chief Executive of the European Foundation Centre, has repeatedly spoken of the importance of telling stories of foundations’ work for society and of their founders. The editors of this excellent contribution to the literature on foundations have taken Salole’s idea and put together a comprehensive picture of foundations in Europe. The book comprises profiles of 13 European foundations and six essays looking at the roles, actual and potential, of foundations across the continent.
