</P><BLOCKQUOTE><I>"In her pioneering new book, Susan Ostrander provides a thoroughly researched and elegantly written case study of the Haymarket Foundation and of social movement philanthropy. This fascinating and much needed sociological ethnography stands out because of its importance to the field as well as its readability for activists and scholars alike. I will be recommending it to my colleagues and members."</I>

<p>Charitable foundations are being called upon to operate in more open
and democratic ways and to involve a more diverse constituency. This
unprecedented study details the inner workings of a democratically
organized philanthropy, where funding decisions are made by community
activists. Susan A. Ostrander spent two years doing intensive field
research at the Haymarket People's Fund—a small, Boston-based
foundation. Based on a philosophy of raising and giving away money called
"Change Not Charity," the Fund makes grants to local grassroots social
change organizations. The world of social movement funding comes alive
with Ostrander's description of grantmaking, policy meetings, donor
events, and the day-to-day work of the Fund staff.
<p>Within this fascinating behind-the-scenes account, Ostrander argues
that the "social relations of philanthropy" are more important and more
varied than previously understood. Written at a time when Haymarket was
dealing with crisis, this book tells a story of organizational change as
the Fund moved from an informal collective to a more formal structure; it
is also the story of a struggle to build a multi-race, multi-class,
gender-equal organization. Ostrander details these ongoing struggles and
addresses the larger issue of how fundraising can itself be a kind of
social movement organizing among the progressive people with wealth who
continue to be Haymarket's main donors.
<BR> <h2>Reviews</h2>
<p><I>"...an outstandingly insightful study... [This book] deserves the attention of readers concerned about the future of traditions of giving and volunteering in America."</I>
<br>—<b><I>ARNOVANEWS</I></b>
<p><I>"Susan Ostrander gives us fascinating insights into a small but noteworthy slice of the philanthropic pie—the public foundation committed to social change. Through an intimate examination of the inner workings of Haymarket People's Fund over more than two years, she sheds light on one of the fundamental issues for the foundation field generally: the enduring power of money to coopt the very groups or issues that donors seek to liberate.... </I>Money for Change<I> makes an important contribution to the literature about grantmaking institutions. It is also a thought-provoking commentary on fundraising that should stimulate healthy debate in the funding community."</I>
<br>—<b>Sarah L. Engelhardt</b>, President, The Foundation Center
<p><I>"There has been a profound tension in social movement philanthropy between the popular movements that need support and the wealthy donors who control the purse strings. In this highly original and insightful book, Susan Ostrander shows how Haymarket People's Fund has overcome this clash by putting philanthropic decision-making into the hands of the movement activists and making the donors into movement activists."</I>
<br>—<b>Craig Jenkins</b>, Professor of Sociology, Ohio State University
<p><i>"This very careful and well-written ethnography of Haymarket People's Fund provides an important opportunity to rethink the relationship between established funding sources and social movement activity. It is worthwhile reading, not only for social movement researchers but also for activists, funding practitioners, and scholars interested in the dynamics of participatory organizations."</i>
