Today, many are not just volunteering abroad and donating to international nonprofits but also advancing innovations and launching projects that aim to be socially transformative. However, often these activities are not efficient ways of helping others, and too many projects cause more harm than good.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EReimagining Global Philanthropy\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;shares the journey of a conservative banker and a progressive professor to find a better way forward. Kirk S. Bowman and Jon R. Wilcox explain the boom in the global compassion industry, revealing the incentives that produce inefficient practices and poor outcomes. Instead of supporting start-up projects with long-shot hopes for success, they argue, we can dramatically improve results by empowering local leaders.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EApplying lessons from the success of community banks, Bowman and Wilcox develop and implement a new model that significantly raises philanthropic efficacy. Their straightforward and rigorously tested approach calls for community members to take the lead while outside partners play a supporting role.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003EBowman and Wilcox recount how they tested the model in Brazil, demonstrating the value of giving people in marginalized communities the opportunity to innovate.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;In a time of widespread social reckoning, this book shows how global philanthropy can confront its blind spots and failures in order to achieve truly transformative outcomes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EReaders can access five of the documentary films discussed in the book on a companion website.
