At AmPhil, I help civil society leaders create and execute powerful organizational growth strategies.My books related to philanthropy include "The Philanthropic Revolution: An Alternative History of American Charity" (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2015); "The Forgotten Foundations of Fundraising" (Wiley, 2019); and "The Quest for Belonging" (Post Hill; 2024, forthcoming in July).For fun, I guess, I write biographies. My life of Negro Leagues star Oscar Charleston was published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2019, and in September the University of Oklahoma Press will publish "Beyond the Devil's Road," my biography of an eighteenth-century Spanish missionary and explorer named Francisco Garces.
