Gender, Culture, and Giving Throughout the history of giving or at least in our American culture, philanthropy has been dominated by wealthy, white men. As our society has changed, so has the face of giving. What does a changing demographic mean for the world of the nonprofit?
In this assignment, you need to select at least one high-profile person who is known for his/her philanthropy. Research this person’s giving habits—to what organizations does this person regularly give? What is the giving philosophy of this person? How and why did he/she choose the organization(s) to which he/she gives? How does this person’s giving habits compare with the discussion in this unit’s media piece? How does this person’s giving habits compare with someone like Bill Gates? Do you think that gender and/or culture play a role in how this person gives? Explain.
