Giving is the New Making is divided into two sections–the first describes the How To with respect to developing a philanthropic effort (from a CRT to a private foundation and everything in between). This section starts with the genesis of charitable giving–the estate plan–and covers the different vehicles one considers when searching for a means for their charitable intentions. It also covers the mechanics of establishing and managing a private foundation–discussing such areas as family involvement, day-to-day management, investment coordination and management, governance and perpetuity vs. sunsetting. The second section of the book gives the reader a case study of 5-6 existing private foundations–what their missions are, how they operate, their successes and failures along the way–vignettes that speak to their passions for giving.
