Drucker Foundation for NonprofitManagement) "A book on grantmaking with the name of Joel Orosz attached to ithas instant credibility in the foundation world. Joel is anenormously creative grantmaker, exemplified by his leadership ofone of the largest and most successful programs in the history ofthe Kellogg Foundation: the $63-million Michigan CommunityFoundations' Youth Project, which energized more than six thousandyoung people around the arts of fundraising and grantmaking. Everygrantmaker can learn from his example." (Dorothy S.
