I have 38 years of experience, and specialize in the field of Philanthropy with specific knowledge in the areas of fundraising, corporate philanthropy and private family foundations. I have published on such topics as corporate philanthropy, private family foundations and charitable estate planning. My passion for philanthropy grows out of my experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer where I witnessed the positive impact on an entire sector, agriculture, which funded the organization I worked for and much of my work with it.
