THE DIFFERENCE: DRG QUARTERLY WEBZINE

From DRG, a nonprofit executive search firm, two articles can help you find the new kind of donor you may be looking for. Click on Feature: New Philanthropists or scroll down for Philanthropy: The New Donor.

One article, titled "Self-Made vs. Inherited Wealth: How New Philanthropists Approach the Challenge of 'Repairing the World'" is an interview with nonprofit executives about younger donors. Another, titled "Who is the New and Emerging Donor?" breaks down the newly wealthy into categories such as Post "Liquidity Event" Entrepreneurs, Consultants and Service Providers, and Plain Vanilla Business People. This is an excerpt of the complete report by The Philanthropy Initiative, Inc., titled "What's a Donor to Do? The State of Donor Resources in America Today," which is available in a PDF file via a link at the bottom of the page.

If you are involved in multicultural philanthropy, and/or are trying to diversify your constituent base, you may be interested in these related Web sites that explore trends and issues related to diversity and fundraising.

MULTICULTURAL PHILANTHROPY WEBOGRAPHY

The Multicultural Philanthropy Webography, a project of the Center for the Study of Philanthropy at the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York, reports on African American, Latino, Women and Asian Pacific demographics as they relate to charitable giving. These reports focus on giving vehicles, patterns of giving, fund-raising strategies, challenges and many other topics of interest.

The Center soon will be adding bibliographies on Native American and Middle Eastern American philanthropy. Curriculum guides and volunteer guides are also available. More are being developed and will be added to the site.

The Center is also a partner in The Coalition for New Philanthropy's new project on donor research that will look at giving patterns and education about giving in communities of color. The Coalition is putting together data that will help organizations develop cultivation strategies for potential donors within these communities. Keep checking back at this site for a link to the Coalition project.

CULTURES OF CARING

"Cultures of Caring: Philanthropy in Diverse American Communities," a report from the Council on Foundations, focuses on African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos and Native Americans. Working closely with affluent donors in these communities, the researchers explored the donors' feelings about giving, how they select the organizations they support and how they think about setting up endowments and establishing private foundations. The lessons learned from the givers are used to support efforts to expand diversity in philanthropy.

The reports require an Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have one, a link at the site will help you download it.
