— Suze Orman, author, The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and The Road to Wealth

"Inspired Philanthropy lets us in on the secret that giving money for social change is the most rewarding form of investment. Whether you have a few hundred or a few million dollars, this workbook will help you give it effectively. Tracy Gary— a pioneer in countering the sex and race bias in the world of philanthropy— shares a lifetime of expertise."
— Gloria Steinem, consulting editor, Ms. Magazine, writer, activist

"Inspired Philanthropy is a good book— don't miss it. It is a most ingenious mixture of philanthropic philosophy, personal accounts of how some individuals have handled their giving, and, most interesting, a rich section of exercises that leads you through the gift-making process. This book makes you want to do philanthropy the way it should be done. It is suitable for all people touched by philanthropy: givers and takers, big and little. The field will owe to these authors."
— David R. Hunter, "The Father" of Progressive Philanthropy

"Reducing militarism and supporting human needs must become major foundations for our values and visions for this world. Inspired Philanthropy may be just the tool we need for the revitalization of a responsive democracy. Buy this book but be sure to sit down with your family and community and use it to guide your check writing and volunteering."
— Ben Cohen, president and founder, Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities and former chairman, Ben & Jerry's
