A Profession of Philanthropy

August 31, 2007 by giarts-ts-admin

Our Taos Journey essays depart by looking back at philanthropy's recent past. As the field has become more formalized as a profession, it also has attracted exposés and critiques. Many have called for greater accountability, transparency, and proof of effectiveness.
