With Charity For All

Each year the average American household donates almost $2700 to charity. Yet most donors know little about the American charitable sector and the nonprofit organizations they support. In <i>With Charity For All</i> former NPR CEO Ken Stern exposes a field that few know: 1.1 million organizations 10% of the national workforce and $1.5 trillion in annual revenues. He chronicles the many flaws in the charity system from tax-exempt charities such as bowl games roller derby leagues and beer festivals to charitable hospitals that pay their executives into the millions to--worst of all--organizations that raise millions of dollars without ever cracking the problem they have pledged to solve. <p/><i>With Charity For All </i>provides an unflinching look at the philathropic sector but also offers an inspiring prescription for individual giving and widespread reform.
