Philanthropy Industry Note Part (D): Corporate Philanthropy Case Solution
This Case is about DECISION MAKING, GENDER, INFLUENCE, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
PUBLICATION DATE: July 01, 1998
This chain of essays that are contextual provides a summary of standing and the history of philanthropic giving in America. The notes look generally at total philanthropic styles (share of national income given to philanthropy, leading recipients of charitable contributions; sources of contributions) along with the giving patterns of the various sectors of the market: people, corporations and foundations through drawing on reports published by Commission on Civic Renewal and Philanthropy as well as federal tax based data. Each note starts with particular decisions (e.g. nearly half of all philanthropy goes to religious associations; the most powerful predictor of offering is amount of riches; foundation offering is highly-correlated to the operation of the stock market; corporate philanthropy is increasingly a part of companies’ competitive strategy) before elaborating on the decisions and supplying an extensive bibliography. Although not supplying an explicit review of the entire private sector, the notes remark on the development of the sector and its shifting reliance on private and public support.
