We encourage you to join us for this special event for funders, nonprofits and community members as we feature the recently released book Giving Done Right: Effective Philanthropy and Making Every Dollar Count by Phil Buchanan, president of The Center for Effective Philanthropy. Buchanan will be in conversation with Grant Oliphant of The Heinz Endowments.
Giving Done Right is a practical guide to philanthropy at all levels of giving that seeks to educate and inspire.This crucial book will reveal the secrets and lessons learned from some of the biggest givers, busting commonly held myths and challenging the idea that "business thinking" holds the answer to effective philanthropy. It offers the intellectual frameworks, data-driven insights and practical examples to allow readers to understand exactly what it takes to make a difference.
A book signing and reception will follow the program. All attendees will receive a free copy of the book.
Please RSVP by contacting Taren Lumley at 412-394-4294 or event@pghfdn.org. You may also register online.
