This book shows how to do that, explaining what you need to know and what you need
to do.

 

 

 

Packed with information, insights and examples – plus eclectic tales from Oprah 
Winfrey, Albert Einstein, Private Eye and Harvard Business Review – it’s invaluable
whether you’re giving money, time or anything else, and whether you’re a school-
child, a company or a billionaire.

 

 

 

Note the price of £16.01. That is the date (1601) of the Charitable Uses Act which
defined charitable activity for hundreds of years not just in England and Wales 
but in many countries around the world and has only fairly recently been overhauled
and updated.
