I'm Not Rockefeller: 33 High Net Worth Philanthropists Discuss Their Approach to Giving -Kathleen Noonan & Katherina Rosquta
HNW (High Net Worth) participants indicated that their criteria for philanthropic giving were deeply informed by their social capital.
The criteria they most frequently cited -apart from an interest in or passion for a subject -were personal involvement with an organization (or the involvement of someone known to them) and the ability to influence a tangible program or project related to a passion or interest.
These factors were especially important at the time of an initial gift.Others were comfortable giving a larger amount if someone they knew well was personally involved in an organization.
Some HNWPs told us that their involvement in an organization was an absolute precondition to donating what they considered larger gifts.
Few HNWP participants made a practice of giving large gifts in situations where they had simply heard of and/or read about an organization.~~
The University of Pennsylvania Center for High Impact Philanthropy (CHIP) is a resource center designed to guide philanthropists and their advisors as they decide where to allocate their philanthropic dollars. Their goal is to provide information and tools to help philanthropists determine where their gifts would have the greatest potential to improve the lives of others. CHIP staff gathers information from multiple sources and thinks systematically about what it suggests, how it fits together, and how best to use it. CHIP then translates their findings into clear and practical decision-making tools.
The Center identifies promising programs to support using a multi-perspective, evidence based approach that synthesizes three types of information: field experience (project evaluations, case studies, and policy analysis), rigorous scientific research (randomized control trials and studies with good comparison groups), and informed opinion (expert analysis, stakeholder input).
They also identify practical ways to think through philanthropic decisions, measure social impact, and create new models for achieving impact. Our objective is to address not only the information gap in the world of philanthropy, but also the continuing uncertainty about the best ways to measure and compare effectiveness and the lack of analytic and decision frameworks to support philanthropists focused on achieving high impact.
The Center for High Impact Philanthropy is a neutral broker of information for individual philanthropists, foundations, advisors, and others interested in achieving the highest social impact possible with their philanthropic dollars.
