    Global Philanthropy Tracker 2020
    (2020-10-22) Osili, Una; Kou, Xiaonan; Carrigan, Cathie; Bergdoll, Jon; Horvath, Kinga; Adelman, Carol; Sellen, Charles
    The Global Philanthropy Tracker (GPT) details the magnitude of cross-border philanthropic contributions globally. By capturing contributions made by individual and institutional donors to support charitable causes across national borders, this report aims to offer a more complete picture of global philanthropic flows. The 2020 GPT provides an updated estimate of the amount of cross-border philanthropy that occurred in 2018 or the most recent year for which data are available. It further compares cross-border philanthropy to three other cross-border resource flows: official development assistance (ODA), remittances, and private capital investment.

    Global Philanthropy: Does Institutional Context Matter for Charitable Giving?
    (Sage, 2021-02-04) Wiepking, Pamala; Handy, Femida; Park, Sohyun; Neumayr, Michaela; Bekkers, René; Breeze, Beth; De Wit, Arjen; Einolf, Chris; Gricevic, Zbignev; Scaife, Wendy; Bethmann, Steffen; Breen, Oonagh B.; Kang, Chulhee; Katz, Hagai; Krasnopolskaya, Irina; Layton, Michael D.; Mersianova, Irina; Lo, Kunag-Ta; Osili, Una; Pessi, Anne Birgitta; Sivesind, Karl Henrik; Yamauchi, Naoto; Yang, Yongzheng
    In this article, we examine whether and how the institutional context matters when understanding individuals’ giving to philanthropic organizations. We posit that both the individuals’ propensity to give and the amounts given are higher in countries with a stronger institutional context for philanthropy. We examine key factors of formal and informal institutional contexts for philanthropy at both the organizational and societal levels, including regulatory and legislative frameworks, professional standards, and social practices. Our results show that while aggregate levels of giving are higher in countries with stronger institutionalization, multilevel analyses of 118,788 individuals in 19 countries show limited support for the hypothesized relationships between institutional context and philanthropy. The findings suggest the need for better comparative data to understand the complex and dynamic influences of institutional contexts on charitable giving. This, in turn, would support the development of evidence-based practices and policies in the field of global philanthropy.

    The Global Study of Philanthropy
    (Springer, 2021) Wiepking, Pamala
    While there is apparent evidence that individual philanthropic behavior and the motivations for this behavior are at least to some extent universal, there is also evidence that people across the world do not equally display this behavior. In this conceptual article, I explore how we can study philanthropic behaviors from a global perspective. I contend that the macro-level study of philanthropy is underdeveloped, because of three problems intrinsic to the study of global philanthropy: problems with geographical orientation, connotations and definitions. As a first step to overcome these problems, I suggest the use of the term generosity behavior over philanthropic behavior, as this term appears more inclusive of the multitude of definitions and connotations across cultures. I conclude by formulating a collaborative research agenda for a more inclusive study and understanding of global generosity behavior, focused on generating publicly accessible knowledge and informing policy.

    (2007) Center for Global Prosperity, Hudson Institute, Dr. Carol Adelman; Norris, Jeremiah; Siegel, Judith; Rollins, Karina; Grayson, Samantha
    The 2007 index presents a comparison of all developed countries' aid -- government as well as private -- to the developing world. The new index reveals that U.S. private giving in 2005 (latest available data), in the form of money, volunteer time, goods, and expertise to the developing world was at least $95 billion, compared with $27.6 billion in U.S. government aid abroad.

    The Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances 2009
    (2009) Center for Global Prosperity, Hudson Institute, Dr. Carol Adelman; Norris, Jeremiah; Siegel, Judith; Miller, Patricia; Metcalf, Heidi; Baker, David; Spantchak, Yulya
    In the ever-changing world of international development, the Center for Global Prosperity (CGP) has made its own changes, among them a new name for its premier publication. It has become the Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances to highlight the critical role remittances play in alleviating poverty abroad. Total remittances from industrial countries to the developing world were $145 billion dollars in 2007—nearly one and one-half times larger than all governments’ Official Development Assistance at $103.5 billion and three times larger than private philanthropy at $49.1 billion.

    The Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances 2010
    (2010) Center for Global Prosperity, Hudson Institute, Dr. Carol Adelman; Norris, Jeremiah; Spantchak, Yulya; Miller, Patricia; Little, Heidi
    Philanthropy to the developing world remained steady in 2008 and remittances continued to grow—despite the global recession and dire forecasts—providing a much needed lifeline to poor people throughout the world. And they were more resilient to the downturn than private capital flows to developing countries, which fell dramatically in 2008. Despite this, private flows still accounted for three-quarters of the developed world’s economic dealings with developing countries in 2008, proving that this innovative, diverse new foreign aid architecture is here to stay in good times and in bad.
