Lessons in Philanthropy: The Legacy of Barb McInnes is an essential read for anyone in philanthropy who seeks to build genuine community impact rather than just fund projects. Through thirty-six real stories, the book distills the wisdom of Barb McInnes-one of Canada's most respected philanthropic leaders-into practical, human lessons on trust, humility, and collaboration.

Readers learn how authentic relationships, shared purpose, and quiet leadership can achieve lasting change. The book illustrates how to align values with action, engage donors as partners, and create spaces where generosity becomes a collective act.

As leaders like Susan Phillips describe it, the book is a "treasure trove of ideas" for nurturing trust with donors, boards, and communities. For professionals in philanthropy, it offers both inspiration and a roadmap-showing how thoughtful, people-centered giving can transform institutions and strengthen the fabric of communities.

This book is a warm tribute to Barbara McInnes, whose visionary and compassionate leadership helped shape the community foundation movement in Canada and beyond. As President and CEO of the Ottawa Community Foundation for 27 years, Barb championed local action while forging national and international connections that strengthened philanthropy everywhere. Her influence extended far beyond Ottawa-she helped build Community Foundations of Canada, the Transatlantic Community Foundation Network, and supported the creation of new foundations across Canada and Eastern Europe. Her approach to donor-advised funds and her belief in trust, listening, and encouragement left a lasting global impact. This book reflects the spirit of her leadership and the communities she inspired.
