From newsletters and magazines to bazaars and dinners to festivals and concerts, charities and philanthropic enterprises competed among one another to obtain financial support for their causes, justify their expenditures and, to borrow a phrase from a recent historical study, "monetize compassion." Richly illustrated, this volume documents the business of charity and philanthropy.
