Product Description -
Charity investment is a responsiblebusiness – judging how much to spend and how much to keep for the future isenough to keep you awake long into the night. The first instinct ofcharities is to keep its money safe, spend with circumspection and ensure thereis plenty in the coffers for a rainy day. A natural and vigilant approach butone that author – James Brooke Turner, Investment Director at the NuffieldFoundation – turns on its head. In his innovative newbook, he challenges conventional charity investment practice. Being over-protectiveof the capital, he argues, can thwart a charities spending plans and itsultimate mission, whereas the more a charity spends the more it can make adifference. Recognising the potential of investments and thinkingclearly about financial goals frees charities to do more of what they are therefor and that is to increase help to beneficiaries.
