The story of two commissions (The Commission on Foundations and Private Philanthropy, 1969-1970, founded by John D. Rockefeller III, and The Commission on Private Philanthropy and Public Needs, 1973-1977, headed by John H. Filer) that had a major impact on philanthropic activity and public policy.

Reader Reviews
Again, Eleanor Brilliant gives us a no-nonsense look at American charitable enterprise and the people who run it. As events and actions of leaders give frequent rise to questions about the caliber and integrity of Americans' non-profit way of serving others, she provides a well-researched analysis of information that people who give their time and money ought to know. Since most don't, the leaders of the agencies to whom they give ought to read this excellent work to become familiar with information important to their constituents.
