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.
"The Modern Medici: Patterns, Motivations, and Giving Strategies
of the Wealthy." Paul G. Schervish. Paper presented on the panel,"The New
Philanthropists," at the inaugural forum, "What is 'New' About New Philanthropy,"
of the University of Southern California Nonprofit StudiesCenter. Los Angeles,
January 20, 2000.
This paper addresses three aspects of the relationship between
wealth and philanthropy that can serve as foundations for understanding and
influencing what I consider to be a forthcoming golden age of philanthropy:
the large and exponential growth in wealth, the motivational array that inclines
wealth holders to contribute to charity, and the array of strategies they use
in carrying out their philanthropy.
"The Spiritual Horizons of Philanthropy: New Directions for Money and Motives."
Paul G. Schervish. Paul G. Schervish. In New Directions in Philanthropic
Fundraising. Understanding the Needs of Donors: The Supply-Side of Charitable
Giving. Edited by Eugene R. Tempel and Dwight F. Burlingame. Number 29,
fall 2000, pp. 17-31.
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.
"Wealth with Responsibility Study/2000."
This study sponsored by Bankers Trust Private Banking was supervised
by SWRI in conjunction with the University of Massachusetts at Boston Center
for Survey Research. The purpose of the research was to develop a base of knowledge
about the attitudes and practices of wealth holders, particularly as they relate
to charitable giving and volunteering, attitudes about social issues, socially
responsible investing, trust and estate planning, and the transfer of values
to heirs. Thirty-minute mailed questionnaires were sent to 400 wealth holders
with net worth of $5 million or more. The final report, based on 112 households,
is available for download.
