| Reviews |
"Woven into the fabric of U.S. history, philanthropy has been an integral part of American life. This encyclopedia, the first comprehensive treatment of the topic, examines America's remarkable history of charitable action from the early 1600s to the present. The encyclopedia includes over 200 entries for individuals, organizations, events, theories, and legislation, with reference to the works for further study."

"This is a worthwhile addition to most reference collections since it is potentially useful for a wide range of disciplines, including history, social work, philanthropic studies, and sociology."
