Entrepreneurial Philanthropy What is it? Financial Leverage Accountability/ Measurable Results Donor Engagement Systemic Issues Business/Strategic Approach More Than Money
Philanthropy in 2007 Giving sooner with focus and strings Donors giving during their lifetimes Giving with strings Targeted giving 65% of people with $30+ million plan to donate more of their wealth during their lifetimes than in their estates America s wealthy prefer spending money now and faster, while retaining control and demanding more accountability (vs. giving via estates) Large donors are giving to targeted charities vs. spreading the wealth Source: Boston College, Center of Wealth and Philanthropy

Patience is a Virtue Anticipated Transfer of Wealth Has Yet to Materialize Boston College predicted in 1999 that $41+ trillion would come from WWII and baby-boomer bequests $128 billion was bequeathed to charities from 1998 to 2004 just 7.5% of the estimated total for 1998-2017 Factors include greater lifetime giving, market shifts, crisis donations and a drop in household wealth Source: The Chronicle of Philanthropy

Strength in Numbers Individuals Give More than Organizations Donations by individuals are more than four times that of foundation and corporate philanthropic efforts combined Less than 10,000 families contribute more than 20% of all donations Source: WSJ, April 4, 2007
