Conducted by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, this year’s research follows an initial landmark study published through this partnership in 2006, with subsequent studies conducted in 2008 and 2010.

Benchmark for the guidance of O (Rh) D-negative red blood cells (ONEG RBCs) is not widely available. In this study, we aimed to identify the areas of improvement in blood center inventory of ONEG RBCs through a clinical audit. Materials and methods: During April 2017 to March 2018, patients who received ONEG RBCs units were studied for their demographics, primary reason for admission, location, and clinical condition. Data were collected from computerized blood center information system, online integrated laboratory data (Integrated Laboratory Management System), and patients' medical record charts. Children at ≤18 years were included in the pediatric population as per our institutional criterion while a female between 15 and 49 years was considered as having childbearing potential according to previously published data. Results: Overall, 807 units (2.8%) of ONEG RBCs were transfused during 577 transfusion events with a median (inter quartile range) of 2 (1-3) units per patient in each transfusion event. Recipients of ONEG RBCs were 221 unique patients including 91 females (41%) and 130 males (59%) and only 44 (20%) females had child-bearing potential. Overall, 72 of 807 red cell units (8.9%) were transfused to young females of O/non-O negative/unknown group and were classified as "obligatory." Neonates, pediatric patients, chronically transfused, and bone marrow transplant recipients received 337 of 807 (42%) units and were marked as "acceptable." Transfusion of 398/807 units (49%) to females of nonchildbearing potential and adult males could have been saved for those with a mandatory transfusion requirement of ONEG RBCs. Conclusions: This clinical audit showed that 409 of 807 of ONEG RBCs (51%) were transfused according to the guidelines while 398 of 807 of these (49%) could have been saved for other mandatory requirements. Appropriate policies, planning, education of physicians, and regular clinical audits are needed to bring the desired change in transfusion practices.Item Bank of America Study of High Net-Worth Philanthropy: Portraits of Donors(2007-12) IU Lilly Family School of PhilanthropyPortraits of Donors explores the philanthropic patterns of high net-worth households by looking for statistical differences in the way certain groups of individuals donate relative to other high net-worth households.

In studying answers to the question, we found that the answer is that there is no one way. Yet, it is not the other extreme either, and the oft-repeated phrase everyone is unique is not helpful. Between these two extremes is a balanced approach in which there are discernable types of givers, and these can inform donor communication. Through a national representative survey and follow-up in-person interviews, we learned from thousands of everyday Americans about the ways they go about their giving.Item Understanding Donors’ Motivations(10/20/2009) IU Lilly Family School of PhilanthropyItem What the 100 nonprofits that raised the most money in 2020 indicate about charity today(The Conversation US, Inc., 2021-11-02) Siddiqui, Shariq; Campbell, David; Kim, Mirae; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
