“You need to do this. You can do this. I can help.” This is what it feels like to work with Kris Putnam-Walkerly. What a delight it is to now have in book form the wisdom, inspiration, and tools of a gifted writer and leader in philanthropy. Thank you, Kris. We need your voice, your encouragement, and your mad skills in this work. You are a gift to the field.

       Ellen LaPointe, President & CEO, Northern California Grantmakers

      Aristotle once told us that giving well is tougher than you think. Delusional Altruism is a welcome guide that shows why he was right and what you can do to get better. Written in practical down-to-earth steps and sensible advice, it's valuable whether you're beginning the journey or wanting to check your current practice. And it even translates well “across the pond!”

       Paul Streets, CEO, Lloyds Bank Foundation

      Effective philanthropy can elude even the best of intentions. Kris Putnam-Walkerly gets it—and with a page-turning mix of hard truths, good humor, and tough love, she's ready to help you avoid those all-too-common mistakes that prevent your pursuit of the greater good from having its greatest impact. This inspiring and provocative book will change the way you think about changing the world.

       Lara A. Kalafatis, Chair, Cleveland Clinic Philanthropy Institute

      Kris Putnam-Walkerly brings her visionary gift of change-making philanthropy forward in this book. Not only does she identify many of the common mistaken notions of giving that are found in all types of donors and organizations, but she also clearly shows how to redeem the act of giving with seven strong strategies that lead to better impact.

       Tamara Fynan, Executive Director, Community Engagement & Philanthropy, The J.M. Smucker Company

      We all know the expression, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” My years of experience of working with all kinds of donors show that good intentions are not enough, and HOW is probably more important in giving than WHAT. This book is very important because it holds a mirror to donors' common mistakes and gives them a chance to improve and achieve bigger impact.

       Maria Chertok, Director, Charities Aid Foundation, Russia

This is a thought-provoking book full of straight talk and practical advice for philanthropists of all shapes and sizes. Putnam's questions and ideas will push funders to think differently about everything—from strategy to mind-sets to time management.

       Kristi Kimball, Executive Director, Charles and Helen Schwab Foundation

      My father, cofounder of the Sheraton Hotel Chain, told me that the greatest pleasure his money ever gave him was in giving it away. But he also warned about having a full heart and an empty head; philanthropy done badly could make matters worse. Kris Putnam-Walkerly's book is the perfect answer to the problem my father foresaw.

       Mitzi Perdue, Philanthropist & Founder, Win This Fight, Stop Human Trafficking

      This book will be that voice in my head that says, “You can change the world. You just need to do it differently,” and then shows me the way!
