    Patterns of Charitable Giving in the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Osili, Una; Kim, Sung-Ju
    This study explores the charitable giving patterns of Americans by analyzing data from the 2007 Center on Philanthropy Panel Study (COPPS). The study provides nonprofit sector professionals, fundraisers, policymakers and public officials a unique perspective of families’ giving behaviors over time by estimating giving to religious and secular causes. COPPS is the Center on Philanthropy’s signature research project. Data from COPPS is collected as a module of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, which reaches more than 8,000 households every two years. COPPS is the only study that surveys giving and volunteering by the same households over time, following families as they mature, face differing economic circumstances and encounter changes in their family size, health and other factors. It is also the only data available that asks families extensively about their wealth and philanthropy, as well as income and other relevant factors. In this study, we probe deeply into the topic of household charitable giving by analyzing the most recent data from the COPPS 2007 wave. We investigate how charitable giving differs by socio-demographic characteristics, such as age, marital status, education level, regions, income, wealth, and others.

    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Cochran, Philip L.; Madison, Carol A.; Flynn, E. James
    The Randall L. Tobias Center for Leadership Excellence was established in 2004. The vision is for it to become one of the top 3 or 4 internationally recognized Centers on Leadership Excellence. The Tobias Center is explicitly cross-disciplinary in its study of leadership and was created as a collaboration of the Kelley School of Business, the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) and the School of Education and the Center on Philanthropy. The Tobias Center is an Indiana University center and is housed in the Kelley School in Indianapolis. The programs of the Center fall into three major areas: research, community outreach and education, and teaching. The poster will highlight each of the Center’s programs in each of the three areas. For Research, it will describe the Center’s Faculty Fellows, Doctoral Fellows and Leadership Laboratories. The Center’s community outreach and education programs include the Hoosier Fellows Program, the three lecture programs, and its annual conference. Teaching initiatives of the Tobias Center include the Urban Leadership Education Institute, the Undergraduate Leadership Academy and School of Medicine Leadership course.
