This report highlights the giving practices of high net worth (HNW) donors of color. Until recently, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) with HNW and ultra-high net worth (UHNW) have been an apparitional presence across philanthropic and nonprofit sectors. Yet, emerging research shows that there are at least 1.3 million HNW households of color in the United States with net liquid assets of one million dollars or more. The report research demonstrates that HNW donors of color have great potential to move millions of dollars and inspire other hidden figures in philanthropy.
Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, with support from The University of Chicago, published its second biennial report, which is the only global survey of philanthropy that includes views not only on reasons for giving, but on causes, geographic flows of funding, giving timeframes, decision making, and next-generation involvement. The study included responses from 150 philanthropies from 30 countries. The report expands on RPA’s previous research in 2019 and 2020 to understand the factors that affect a philanthropy’s consideration in choosing the length of time for which it will remain active.
The Center for Strategic Philanthropy explores and highlights several ways in which experienced philanthropists are putting their capital to work. Their latest report includes a series of case studies that provide concrete examples of what strategic philanthropy looks like in practice. The report also offers practical guidance and lessons learned from funders themselves.
