This book examines the practice of participatory grantmaking, where stakeholders and grantees participate in making decisions about grant dollars that were previously reserved for professional foundation staff. The book combines perspectives from academics and practitioners to explore how participatory grantmaking relates to other features of contemporary giving, and uses in-depth case studies to assess its impact on philanthropy, nonprofits, civil society, and democracy.
