Abstract:
Much like the way photographers capture an instant while organizing “visually perceived forms . . . to . . . give it meaning,” as Cartier-Bresson said, American and European professional advisors and fund raisers can view the alignment of their cultural differences to work better with donors. Perhaps the best way to sharpen our perceptions is to question our assumptions and ask how other cultures and countries are treating foundations and charitable giving.Keywords:
