Explore New Giving
The face of philanthropy is rapidly changing. Established foundations play a visible and powerful role in charitable giving, yet the vast majority of philanthropy -80%- still comes from individuals. Women, younger donors and members of racial, ethnic and tribal communities are becoming significant contributers. For many underserved communities, giving has been there for a long time, but now these contributions are being recognized. Today’s givers come from a wider economic spectrum than before. And, donors are increasingly investing through new (or, newly popular) giving vehicles, including funds at community foundations, affiliated funds and giving circles.
