Review:

Interesting. It is very organized. This seems like it might help those people who give to multiple charities. Stacy Harris, School Teacher --Email to Publisher

The amount of work put into this [book] is amazing, well thought-out, and certainly could be used as a major step in planning a budget [for] charitable giving. Marcia Gould Member, California Senior Legislature --Email to Publisher

The book is a good piece of work. I am sure it will be of use to many people in helping them to make appropriate [charitable] decisions [if they, like us,] receive through the mail each year ... over 500 ... requests [for funds] from 100 different organizations, not including [those on] the Internet or [by] telephone. Jerome Selmer Retired civil servant --Email to Publisher
