"How Foundations Work will provide much-needed dialogue in the foundation community. Anyone who has ever raised funds from foundations can easily relate to Mr. McIlnay's observations. This book gives an insider's perspective to foundations that we have heard about before but rarely seen in print until today." (K. Scott Sheldon, CFRE, director of development and outreach, Arizona State University College of ExtAnded Education)
"McIlnay's book is full of information. His arguments are cogent and well-supported. Common misunderstandings and unspoken truths about foundations are revealed in ways that nonprofit leaders will respond to with warmth. The list of cockamamie ideas submitted as grant proposals brought tears of laughter to my eyes and the description of medieval grant proposals is priceless. It is funny, well-observed and a good read." (David La Piana, principal, La Piana Associates Management Consultants)
"After a dozen years in the field, I was pleased to read this book which helps to demystify philanthropy" (Ruth Shack, president, Dade Commununity Foundation)
