The already vibrant charitable sector in the US is in the midst of
a transformation that is altering both the manner in which
donations occur and the causes that are supported. Philanthropy in
Transition examines the unique role that charitable giving has
played in the US, from colonial times to the present. The rising
importance of new means of contributing, particularly giving
through buying or investing, is considered. These new models of
philanthropy have expanded the ways by which ethical consumers or
investors can support a cause. Although these innovations represent
a revolution in the structure of philanthropy, they introduce
significant complexity to the act of giving - donors are far
removed from recipients - and this may weaken the impact of
contributing. This transformation is also likely to accelerate the
rising importance of web-based promotion and fund-raising, as
traditional nonprofits compete with social market enterprises and
social impact investments for funds.
