Rethinking the practices of modern philanthropy

Dimple Abichandani sets out ten practice shifts for directing philanthropic wealth toward a more just and sustainable future, with attention to crisis and rapid change. The book considers how philanthropy might embody anti-racist, feminist, relational, and solidarity-based commitments, and connects those ideas to practical areas such as governance, investment alignment, and crisis funding. Stories about funders working in these areas accompany its broader argument for changing philanthropy’s norms and purpose. The result is a practice-oriented framework that links questions of values with the decisions donors, foundations, and nonprofit leaders make about resources.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Donors and foundation leaders considering changes to philanthropic practice
  • Nonprofit leaders engaging with how funding is governed and allocated
  • Readers interested in philanthropy, social justice, and sustainable futures

Book overview

"A must-read for anyone in philanthropy, particularly those who question whether and how philanthropic resources can address the current, complex challenges our world faces." --Nick Tedesco, president and chief executive officer of the National Center for Family Philanthropy

A blueprint for how wealth can be transformed into a more just and sustainable future in times of rapid change and crisis.


On the cusp of the greatest wealth transfer in history--with $84 trillion dollars moving between generations in the next 20 years--this book explores how philanthropy can be transformative, and transformed.

Can philanthropy be an anti-racist, feminist, relational, and joyful expression of solidarity?

This book argues that it not only can be--for the future we seek, and for philanthropy to achieve its greatest impact, it must be.

Nationally recognized philanthropic leader Dimple Abichandani revolutionizes the precepts of modern philanthropy. Offering 10 provocative practice shifts, A New Era of Philanthropy engages readers with fresh answers to the question of how philanthropy can meet this high-stakes moment--from reimagining governance to aligning investments to crisis funding and beyond.

Abichandani highlights paradigm shifts that model the way forward, moving beyond critique into real transformation, with relatable stories about funders who are forging a new era of philanthropy.

A New Era of Philanthropy picks up where key books like Decolonizing Wealth and Winners Take All leave off, offering a guide for donors, foundations, and non-profit leaders navigating philanthropy in urgent times. Clear-eyed, hopeful, and responsive to the moment, this book helps us reimagine the purpose and norms of modern philanthropy. It is an invitation to all of us who believe these resources can contribute to a more just future: start here.
