Cap in Hand: How Charities Are Failing the People of Canada and the World

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience working at the highest level of the sector, Picco has produced an insightful book that is essential reading for anyone who gives to charities, is trying to make charity more impactful or is concerned about the effect affect charity is having on the people who need its help the most. Picco interviewed cancer researchers, hospital foundation chieftains, humanitarian aid veterans and sector observers, and used data from tax filings, charity audits, international reports and policy analysis to give us a full view of charity in Canada. It is a compelling and meticulously researched work that will generate a much-needed debate about modern-day charity.
