Do Giving Circles Democratize Philanthropy? Donor Identity and Giving to Historically Marginalized Groups

  • Source : Springer
  • 1 January 1970
This research focuses on understanding how giving circle (GC) member identities are associated with the identities of funding recipients. It examines whether GC members are more likely than non-members to give to people who are like them (bonding social capital) and/or to people who are not like them (bridging social capital). We draw on data from a survey of GC members and a comparison control group of non-GC members. Findings show GC members and those not in GCs are both more likely to give to a shared identity group—related to race, gender, and gender identity—leading to bonding social capital.

Reimagining Global Philanthropy

  • Source : Columbia University Press
  • 1 January 1970
Bowman & Wilcox critically analyze the shortcomings of Western-led global philanthropy and advocate for a paradigm shift towards empowering local leaders. They propose a "community-bank-style model" that supports grassroots innovation, with external partners adopting background roles. Drawing on pilot programs in Brazil, the authors argue this approach fosters transformative impact, strengthens local ownership, and enhances cost-effectiveness. The book challenges conventional top-down philanthropic strategies, promoting decentralized, community-driven development to address global challenges more equitably and sustainably, thereby "reimagining" the future of international giving by shifting power and resources to the ground.
