Jim Lord is a global thought leader and the author of the classic book for board members, "The Raising of Money," a foundational text in philanthropy, and the bestselling book on the topic, having helped institutions and causes raise billions of dollars. All his endeavors began with the question he first naively asked 50 years ago, "Why do people 'give away' their money?" Answering that question has turned into a life's work that has taken him from consulting with small-town YWCAs to the Vatican and White House, and it has brought civic leaders and university presidents from 50 countries to his Philanthropic Quest Strategic Retreat. He is also the author of "What Kind of World Do You Want?", written after 9/11. "Bounce Back Higher" serves as a prequel and new introduction to that book.
