During the next twenty years, as part of the largest transfer of
wealth in history, more than $500 billion is expected to pour into
the philanthropic sector. Some of it will come from retiring baby
boomers, but even more will come from newly rich Silicon Valley
billionaires. Since 2006, the appeal of "giving while living" has
grown, so much so that many philanthropic donors now expect not
just to give money during their lifetimes, but to create
organizations or ventures-some for profit, others not for
profit-whose missions are expected to be completed within the
lifetime of the donors. The combination of these two trends has
transformed the not-for-profit sector in scale and dynamism,
attracting some skeptical scrutiny along the way.
Philanthrocapitalism has acquired some of the trappings of
financialization, and has the potential to deliver ever greater
impact. But will it? And will the demand that the impact be quickly
realized mean that longer-term institution-building missions will
be neglected? Joel L. Fleishman is one of the wisest of wise men in
philanthropy whose advice is routinely sought by organizations and
individuals across the country. In Putting Wealth to Work, he tells
the story of a uniquely American financial sector, all but created
by Andrew Carnegie's example, that since 1995 has become more
dynamic with every passing year. Staggering personal fortunes are
made and given away, from Bill Gates to Mark Zuckerberg, as in no
previous era since the golden age of American capitalism. America
currently leads the world in this trend-of the 138 signers of the
giving-while-living pledge, 110 were American-but the world is
following in its footsteps. This movement of socially motivated
capital is unprecedented and its consequences are potentially
transformative for the American economy and the world at large.
