The Almanac of American Philanthropy is a reference book published by the Philanthropy Roundtable donors group in 2016 to capture the history, purpose, effects, and modern direction of private philanthropy in the United States.
The author, Karl Zinsmeister, a vice president of the Philanthropy Roundtable, was formerly chief domestic policy advisor to President George W. Bush. The writing has a libertarian lean. The almanac records the achievements of American philanthropy, profiles influential donors, presents statistics and polling results, lists books and recommended readings in the field, provides a selection of philanthropy quotations, and summarizes modern approaches to charitable giving in the United States.
