Three philanthropy scholars size up the latest data on gifts from the country’s biggest philanthropists.
Three philanthropy scholars discuss several trends in giving by the wealthiest Americans highlighted in this yearly report. Among them: Much of this money doesn’t go to charities right away.
As giving receded to pre-pandemic levels, most of these gifts were designated for foundations, higher education, hospitals and medical research.
Three scholars weigh in regarding the priorities of these wealthy American donors, who gave less to social service and racial justice groups than in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While support for social services and historically black colleges and universities rose sharply, these donors spent a tiny fraction of what the government distributed to people who needed help.
