Philanthropy has roughly been 2% of GDP for the last 40 yearsIt is also driven by individuals, not from foundations or corporationsOnline giving is growing substantially, but is still a fraction of the individual givingTexting donations raised $5 million for Haiti earthquake relief, but donations were not immediate
Support the same organizations annualWant to Give Back to the CommunityThey want to make a differenceBecause they are asked (#7 used to be #1)They care about the mission of the organization
Solicited too frequently (58.9%)Decided to support another cause (35%)Financial Circumstances Changed (34%)Felt their donation was not making a difference (27%)
With all of the vehicles, you gain the ability to take the tax deduction now and grant the money to non-profits laterWhile this may sound unfair, it allows you in theory to be more thoughtful about where you give it vs. making a snap decision at the end of the yearThe main choice is between simplicity and complexity. The more complex the solution, the greater freedom you have to direct the givingWith complexity comes expense and administration. Important to know the trade offsFor most people, 100% of what could give in any given year is donated immediatelyAs income/wealth rises, you have the ability to endow funds – build a larger pool that could be granted out during, and after your lifetime

The big advantage to the donor/lender is that capital is recycled Very appealing to donor/lender because it targets small business and encourages entrepreneurshipHas strengthened the voice of women in villages as 97% of the loans go to womenThe downside is micro-loans cannot replace grants. These loans create jobs, but don’t build infrastructure or fund social servicesThe loans cost 25-30% to the end borrower, but usually come with financial/business support from the MFIAs for profit companies see opportunity, more capital may be available but will focus remain on societal benefit?
