Do More Than Give provides a blueprint for individuals, philanthropists, and foundation
leaders to increase their impact. Based on Forces for Good, this groundbreaking 
book demonstrates how the six practices of high-impact nonprofits apply to donors
aiming to advance social causes. Rather than focus on the mechanics of effective
grantmaking, reporting, or evaluation, this book instead proposes that donors can
become proactive catalysts for change by rising to meet the challenges of our increasingly
interdependent world. Key principles include: going beyond check writing/traditional
volunteering; advocating for change; leveraging business; forging peer networks;
empowering individuals; leading adaptively; and developing learning organisations.
