What's Past Is Prologue expands, unfolds and explicates his thesis that when it comes to our attitudes to charity and volunteering in society, we are all ‘the sum of all our parts.’ If we care to look carefully, he argues, our past experiences tell us everything we need to know about how we view the needs of the world around us. And even more importantly, they inform our response.

Few others have thought about it ... and all its implications ... in such detail. And then gone on to draw out an extended series of logical practical tips and ideas ... separately for financial planners, donors, and charity managers! Craig has made the book helpful to all three groups .... leaving all of us in the sector, whether as donor, volunteer, manager, fundraiser, planner, or major funder, plenty to chew on.

If you’ve never asked yourself why — really why — you support the people and organizations you do, give What’s Past Is Prologue a read. You just may be amazed at what you learn about yourself.

"Craig Swistun, in his new book What's Past is Prologue reminds us that many are motivated by their past experiences and want to make a social impact. Some have the inclination but do not have or don't think they have the ability to help. Fundraisers and financial advisors, Craig points out, can be the catalysts to bridge this gap. In this well-written, non-technical, and easy-to-read book, Craig sets out the first and best steps towards designing a Strategic Giving Plan for professional advisors, nonprofit managers, and donors."
- Chris Snyder RFP Financial Advisor (Retired) Author: How to be Smart with Your Money, Creating Opportunities: A Volunteer's Memoir, and the monthly blog GOOD NEWS STORIES

"Generosity is not an accident of personality; it is a learned behaviour, shaped over time by observation, reflection, and deliberate action. In What's Past is Prologue, Craig Swistun distills those crucial lessons into a practical and inspiring foundation that shows how everyday acts of giving can be transformed into shared experiences, common goals, and partnerships that truly matter. What's Past is Prologue is, at heart, an invitation: to become intentional about generosity; to see yourself as the catalyst for something larger than you; and to recognize that the smallest of ideas-supported by mentors, voices, and first dollars-can help make our society stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable for generations to come." - William Petruk, Founder and CEO, FUNDING Matters

"Our generosity begins long before we choose how to give-it begins with our stories. What's Past is Prologue explores how the experiences, relationships, and moments that shape our lives also shape the why behind our generosity. Whether you're seeking to give more intentionally, guide others in their philanthropy, or build stronger relationships with supporters,What's Past is Prologue will encourage you to reflect on what inspires us all to give. It's a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the deeper motivations behind generosity." - Aimée Lindenberger, Chief Engagement Officer, REFOCUS Author of How to Talk About Legacy Giving and How to Engage Potential Legacy Donors
