A new book by Thomas Tierney, co-founder and chairman of , and Joel Fleishman, a professor of law and public policy at Duke University, discusses how to get the best results from philanthropy. In Give Smart: Philanthropy That Gets Results, they argue that effective grantmaking demands rigorous inquiry around six questions:

What am I accountable for?
What will it take to get the job done?
How do I work with grantees?
Am I getting better?
Business guru Jim Collins calls Give Smart, "a great gift to the world. By asking questions鈥攖he right questions鈥擳om Tierney and Joel Fleishman guide, advise, challenge, and, as with all great teachers, push us to find our own best answers. If you want your philanthropy to be useful鈥攃hanging lives, solving intractable problems, making society work better鈥攖hen engage deeply with this book!"
