I love being asked to recommend books, in fact one of the favourite parts of my job is writing book reviews <\/a>and brief notices of new books and reports<\/a> on the Philanthropy UK website.<\/p>\n

The last time someone asked me to recommend a book came via Twitter, and as it’s not really possible to say much in 140 characters, I thought I’d write a blog about it instead.<\/p>\n

The very personable and knowledgable Caroline Fiennes <\/a>asked a few fellow tweeters ‘What’s the best thing you’ve ever read about corporate philanthropy?’. My answer is below – it’s the reading list for a lecture on corporate philanthropy that I’ll be giving next month, as part of a new course on ‘Fundraising and Philanthropy’ within a new Masters degree in Civil Society Studies<\/a> at the University of Kent. If I had to pick a top 3, I’d go for Burlingame & Young, Sargeant and Jay and either Friedman for provocation or Emerson Andrews for a more thoughtful approach.<\/p>\n

I’d be delighted to hear if anyone else agrees, disagrees, or has other\u00a0books to suggest.<\/p>\n
