Large Corporations, Social Capital, and Community Philanthropy

  • Source : Emerald Publishing
  • 1 January 1970
This article theorizes and tests a model suggesting how large corporations influence community philanthropy through direct engagement and by indirectly shaping community social capital. Analyzing United Way contributions in 136 U.S. cities over 46 years, the study finds that corporate presence weakens the contributions of both elite and working-class social capital to community philanthropy. The findings offer a novel perspective on corporate social responsibility, focusing on how corporations impact the social fabric that sustains generosity and mutual support within communities.

Inequality and philanthropy: High-income giving in the United States 1917–2012

  • Source : ScienceDirect
  • 1 January 1970
This study examines high-income charitable giving in the USA from 1917 to 2012, revealing an inverse relationship between donations and income inequality. This finding contradicts prevailing theories suggesting increased giving with rising inequality. The negative correlation persists even when controlling for other variables, both nationally and at the state level. The research suggests that low payout ratios of foundations and endowed charities, combined with this inverse relationship, may perpetuate rather than alleviate inequality over time and across different regions.
