Item American Jewish Philanthropy 2022: Giving to Religious and Secular Causes in the U.S. and to Israel Infographic(Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2024-02) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly FamilyItem American Jewish Philanthropy 2022: Giving to Religious and Secular Causes in the U.S. and to Israel Report(Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2024-02) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly FamilyThis report examines American Jewish giving and volunteering in 2022, with a strong emphasis on religious giving and giving to Israel-focused organizations. The analyses that make up the findings of the report are based on a survey developed for this study which was conducted by SSRS in March 2023. The survey and these analyses are enhanced by prior studies of Jewish philanthropy. The subsequent analysis explores how certain factors—household income and wealth, marital status, educational attainment, children living at home, and age—influence philanthropy as demonstrated by prior research (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011; Rooney et al., 2018; Wiepking & Bekkers, 2012) and how those effects differ as compared to non-Jewish households. This report also contributes to the body of philanthropic research by examining factors that are specific to Jewish philanthropy, including religiosity, engagement in and affinity for the Jewish faith, affiliation with different Jewish denominations, Jewish ethnic backgrounds, and concerns toward and experiences with antisemitism. It delves into motivations for giving and provides detailed information about the largest gifts given by Jewish households. In addition to its contribution related to giving to Israel-focused organizations, the report also details the allocation of gifts to specific types of organizations or causes.Item Nonprofit Board Composition, Engagement, and Leadership in Central Indiana(Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2024-01) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly FamilyNonprofit organizations in central Indiana strengthen local communities and provide opportunities for engaged citizens to volunteer to serve on nonprofit boards. The extent to which demographic factors and board composition affect the board’s performance is a growing area of interest and research. Building on previous work about board engagement and diversity on a national level, this study examines nonprofit board composition, engagement, and leadership especially as they relate to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) among nonprofits in central Indiana. The findings in this study align with other research about board diversity and its impact on organizational performance. Results for central Indiana indicate that boards with a higher percentage of non-White members and women strengthen board governance. Moreover, organizations that have embraced cultural diversity across several measures are more likely to have more engaged board members. Yet, for many nonprofits there seems to be a disconnect between attitudes about diversity and action.Item The Giving Environment: Giving Trends By Race and Ethnicity(Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2023-11) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly FamilyThis is one of the two reports in the second phase of the Everyday Donors of Color report series, published in November 2023. It expands previous research by the school on declining donors and explores how factors such as wealth, income, and trust may be associated with giving patterns and trends within communities of color by analyzing the Philanthropy Panel Study (PPS), a longitudinal panel study that surveys households biannually on giving behaviors, and the General Social Survey (GSS), a cross-sectional survey which provides explanatory insights about trust and people’s general social behaviors and opinions. This report’s findings shed light on philanthropy across diverse communities and prove timely due to the uncertainties caused by economic shocks and the rise of social movements advocating for equity.Item The Giving Environment: Giving Trends By Race and Ethnicity (Infographic)(Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2023-11) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly FamilyItem The Speed of Trust: An Experiment Examining the Effect of Trust on Giving among Members of Diverse Racial/Ethnic Groups (Infographic)(Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2023-11) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly Family
