This is the first part of a two-part essay exploring the emerging financial and social-psychological factors that I believe are setting new directions in charitable giving. These new directions revolve in large part around a shift to a supply side understanding of charitable giving, especially by high net worth individuals.

This two-part article analyzes the emerging financial and social-psychological forces that are increasingly influential in shaping charitable giving, especially by wealth holders. By referring to the new physics of philanthropy, we emphasize the increasing importance of material wealth and the desire to be efficacious in the commonwealth as supply-side factors, that is, as vectors actually inclining wealth holders toward a more steadfast commitment to philanthropy.

In the first essay, I discussed the general difference between a demand-side and supply-side analysis of philanthropy, the current patterns of charitable giving, estimates of the forthcoming wealth transfer, projections for charitable giving, and why we can expect a greater supply of financial resources for charity. Here in the second essay, I discuss the spiritual side of the supply side and draw out implications for tax policy and fundraising that derive from the analysis in the two essays.
