Joel Fleishman was a prominent expert in philanthropy, advocating for measurable impact of foundations, and his work initiated significant reforms in private philanthropic practices.
Fleishman argued that foundations must evolve from their traditional, secretive culture into a more transparent body that genuinely engages with the communities they serve.
His influential book, The Foundation: A Great American Secret, revealed both the potential and shortcomings of private philanthropy, highlighting the need for accountability in their operations.
As a scholar, Fleishman's dedication to philanthropy and public policy education at Duke University shaped generations of leaders and deepened the understanding of philanthropic impact.
