“The book deserves to be read by students of nonprofit studies, economics, sociology, political science, and public administration who are interested in fundraising and social policy. It is also a must read for researchers and practitioners who are involved in international development and fundraising.” (Abhishek Bhati, Voluntas, 2017)

“The Palgrave Handbook of Global Philanthropy calls itself a ‘comprehensive reference guide to the practice of Philanthropy’. … the work is superb, featuring in-depth looks at donor behaviour in 25 individual countries plus the Caribbean region and solid analysis of the field at the global level. … it will be enjoyed by anyone with a general familiarity with the non-profit sector and philanthropy. Rich in content the handbook represents an important contribution to the study and practice of philanthropy.” (John Harvey, Alliance, Vol. 21 (1), March, 2016)

“The ten-page list of contributors reveals an international group of outstanding scholars of philanthropy and by providing institutional affiliation, educational background and research interests will serve as a directory for those wishing to begin their own research into the nature and evolution of philanthropic giving. This handbook is essential for institutions with philanthropic studies programmes and because the content is so well organized and clearly written it will appeal to graduate and undergraduate students writing from many different perspectives.” (Anthony Raymond, Reference Reviews, Vol. 30 (7), 2016)
