Exploring the relationship between spiritual motivation and identification in the philanthropic practice, this issue brings scholars and practitioners together to debate, discuss, and examine a variety of findings from different viewpoints.
Offering a selected sample of revised papers and presentations from the 14th annual symposium sponsored by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, this issue fosters a deeper understanding of philanthropic action based upon spiritual and religious beliefs. Contributors discuss faith-guided giving, parachurch organisations, the Native American experience of giving, the ethics of wealth, the role of faith-related organisations in community building, and the role faith can play in our professional calling and in our giving.
Published in the New Directions for Philanthropic Fundraising series.
