Book excerpt: At a time when billions of dollars are being harnessed for philanthropic giving in Australia, Savvy Giving is a unique and urgently needed contribution to modern philanthropy. This groundbreaking book offers rare insights, fresh ideas, expert perspectives and practical tools to transform understanding and elevate success for anyone stepping up to be part of structured giving for a better world. Genevieve Timmons draws on unrivalled expertise in philanthropic practice, after more than four decades in management, governance, thought leadership and teaching. She is universally respected in her field, and Savvy Giving is a distillation of wide, deep knowledge to inform practice and ensure philanthropy reaches its best potential in the time ahead. Timmons creates a compelling case for contemporary philanthropy, with a salute to history and traditions which have brought us to where we are. Her challenge is to avoid damaging, wasteful approaches where power is misunderstood and trust is absent in the funding relationship. She provides the roadmap for structured giving that is efficient, creative, values-aligned and informed by constant learning. No matter what your role or the amount of money to give, Savvy Giving is an essential read for anyone committed to shaping a better world with philanthropic dollars.
