This document summarizes a study examining what motivates wealthy individuals to donate more money to philanthropic causes. The study looks at both individual and contextual level explanations. At the individual level, the researchers examine intrinsic and extrinsic motivations as well as demographic factors. At the contextual level, they consider how cultural norms and perceptions of the nonprofit sector influence giving. The study analyzes data from two surveys of high net worth individuals in the US and Netherlands. Regression results show that altruistic motives and social pressure are important drivers of giving in both countries, though their influence varies between the contexts. The researchers plan to further analyze a pooled dataset and interpret differences in contextual factors.

- 9. CONCLUSIONS • The feeling of financial security is more strongly related to giving among HNW households in the Netherlands than it is in the US • Altruistic motives and especially social pressure appear to be more important explanations in the Netherlands, while being asked appears to be a more important explanation in the US • Overall, HNW giving appears to be strongly driven by altruistic motives
- 10. NEXT STEPS • Impute values on missings • Run analyses on pooled dataset • Interpretation of contextual differences

- Warren Buffet: will donate 99% of his wealth (estimated at 60 billion US dollar, most of it to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) Frits Goldschmeding, founder Randstad recruitment/temp agency: not clear how much he gave, but “substantial ammount that can be used in the length of days” Van Vliet, Adessium Foundation, most generous donor in the Netherlands in 2015: 16,4 million euros (10% of their estimated wealth; ranked 109 in list wealthiest Dutch people).
- Intrinsic motivation: Altruistic motivation is defined as a motivational state with the ultimate goal of increasing another’s welfare (Batson, 2010). The empathy-altruism hypothesis states that when people feel empathic concern for a person in need, they will produce altruistic motivation to relieve that need (Batson, 2011; Batson, 2010). Empathic concern is defined by Batson as the “other-oriented emotional response solicited by and congruent with the perceived welfare of someone in need” (Batson, 2010: 20). When people act upon their altruistic motivation and make a charitable donation they confirm their self-image of being a moral and prosocial person. Not acting upon their altruistic motivation when presented with the opportunity can lead to inconsistency with this self-image of a moral person and consequently to feelings of guilt or regret (Andreoni, Rao, & Trachtman, 2011; Bekkers & Wiepking, 2007). Bekkers and Wiepking (2011) refer to this as the psychological benefits of giving. Recent neuroscience studies confirm this. Value mechanism (Bekkers & Wiepking) Extrinsic motivation: social pressure motivation. Power of the ask (Yoruk, 2009; Bryant et al, 2003). Stronger if asked by someone closer to you (Bekkers, 2004) Anticipated social consequences: reputation effects (B&W) or “image motivation” (Ariely et al., 2009), Socio-demographic characteristics: Income, wealth, source of wealth, perception of financial security, religious affiliation and attendance, education, gender and family status. - HNW individuals who have higher income (H4a), hold higher levels of wealth (H4b), are self-made (H4c) and feel more financially secure (H4d) will donate higher amounts of money to philanthropic organizations. - HNW individuals who are religiously affiliated (H5a) and attend religious services more frequently (H5b) will donate higher amounts of money to philanthropic organizations. - HNW individuals who are higher educated will donate higher amounts of money to philanthropic organizations (H6). - We expect that among HNW individuals men will donate higher amounts of money to philanthropic organizations than women (H7). - We expect that HNW individuals who are married (H8a) and who have children (H8b) will donate higher amounts of money to philanthropic organizations.
- Second, we argue that contextual-level differences also influence HNW giving behavior. Although similar individual motivations for generosity among HNW individuals exist across different Western cultures, their prevalence might vary depending on the cultural context in which HNW individuals live. We expect that HNW individuals have both lower intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for giving in a country where there is a strong culture of philanthropy, where the government has a relatively large role in providing public goods and services, in contrast to a country where a relatively large share of public goods and services is provided by the private, philanthropic sector. 1. Public goods are not a sole state responsibility. Philanthropy and the nonprofit sector are commonly perceived as more relevant and important, examples: United States, Russia and South-Korea. In contrast, in welfare states people perceive philanthropy and the nonprofit sector to be supplementary to the state. They feel that the government is responsible for providing key public goods and services, and not the nonprofit sector. This typically inhibits people’s willingness to make philanthropic contributions. Examples: United States, South-Korea. Russia: “Society and the state realized more clearly that private philanthropy and NPO development form essential precondition of successful solving the current social problems” Contrast: Welfare states, e.g., Netherlands: “People in the Netherlands typically donate to nonprofit organizations active in fields that are not considered core state responsibilities, such as education, public health, and public and social benefits.” 2. Another aspect of a ‘culture of philanthropy’ is whether philanthropic giving is something that is very visible and discussed openly, or whether people typically do not discuss their philanthropic behavior. Visibility of insturmental major donors, giving pledge (Buffet 99% fortune to Bill Melinda Gates in 2010). Example France: “While many donors remain anonymous, a growing number of philanthropists have started to talk openly about their giving.” Contrast Switzerland: people do not discuss giving (religious motivations), South-Korea: Lack of major donors and thus no examples.
