Doris Rubenstein has given us a vision of those qualitative goals along with very practical suggestions for enlightened business self-interest." --From the Introduction by Stephen B. Young Global Executive Director, The Caux Round Table "Doris Rubenstein's book makes sound financial sense and should be a must-read for executives of all businesses, small and large alike. She exhibits an intimate understanding of the fiscal demands and corporate concerns of business owners when first establishing relationships with charities. Rubenstein presents a sensible, ethical, and effective approach to corporate philanthropy that is much needed in today's world. If (small) businesses are the lifeblood of a community, her book is an important guide to how they can forge a partnership to achieve civic and cultural improvement and success." --Russell Rothman, Executive Vice President M. Rothman & Co, Inc. "Organizations have a tendency to underestimate the value of incorporating a systematic, focused approach to practicing good corporate citizenship within their management system.
