CanDo is a social ventures incubator. We wanted to find out whether enough is given by
philanthropists, to the right causes, and whether there is anything we can do to help.
Our work in this area is ongoing. In the interim we are sharing this presentation as an example of our
internal research processes.

Executive summary
The State of Philanthropy
Sizing
● Global wealth was $220tn in 2019
● Excluding environmental concerns, other pressing global issues would cost ~$1tn to address
● $0.5tn was donated in 2017 in US and Europe
○ US: $410B, Europe: $100B
○ 74% individual, 17% foundations, rest corporate
● US has stronger giving culture. UK wealthy give very little (e.g. £1k from £250k+ income)
Constraints on giving
● No evidence that tax levels are correlated with giving
● Donors would like to do more of their giving online
Effectiveness
● Various methodologies for effective giving are available to donors…
● … but they don’t use them: most giving is to wealthy institutions and oversubscribed causes,
not the neediest ones
Technology platforms
● Lots of platforms exist: a few have generated $bns
● Most have not successfully addressed the “effectiveness gap”

There are 5 main ways donors deploy their assets
1) Sizing: Giving | Donation mechanisms
Methods of giving
1. Direct cash donation
● Give cash to organisations where expertise and resources already established. Features:
bureaucracy free, no control over where money is going
2. Donor-advised fund
● Set up at the community foundation or with a commercial fund e.g. Fidelity or Vanguard.
Features: free of bureaucracy, money can sit in account with tax deduction forever, owner’s
suggestions followed usually but still outsourcing impact to 3rd party
3. Via existing organisation
● Partner with existing organisation e.g. Warren Buffett’s gifts and partnership with Gates
Foundation
4. New charitable organisation
● Form a public charity, private foundation, or private offering foundation. Individuals contributes
to organisation and get tax deduction in process. Individual may retain control. Can outsource
resource or build expertise in organisation
5. New non-charitable organisation or network of different types of entities
● Create charitable company limited by shares (UK) or 501(c)(4) (US) social welfare
organisation that can engage in political activity as long as not primary purpose, or forego use
of charitable entity at all (e.g. for-profit entities e.g. limited liability companies or hybrids such
as benefit corporations). Examples: Jeff Skoll, Mark Zuckerberg, Laura Arnold

4 types of foundations in Europe and the US
1) Sizing: Giving | Foundation types
Types of foundations
1. Independent foundations
● Separately constituted nonprofit entities with a governing board and no members or
shareholders. 50% of endowment comes from one private source (e.g. an individual, family, or
corporation)
● Most foundations are independent e.g. Europe (87%) and North America (96%)
2. Corporate foundations
● Funds derive contributions of profit making business
● Corporate foundations are common in Latin America (50%)
3. Government-linked foundations
● Independent, separately constituted nonprofit entities with own governing board. Non members or
shareholders / government body provides at least 50% of the capital
● Government-linked foundations are common in China (38%) and the UAE (73%)
4. Family foundations
● Independent foundations with funds from members of a single family.
● Family foundations are common in Africa (35%)

Corporation tax rate 0.15 No

Commentators observe that donors don’t give enough, or in the right ways
3) Effectiveness of giving: Criticisms
Constraints on volume of giving
Insufficient culture of
giving (CAF online)
● Weaker culture of giving and relationship with money e.g. British and Europeans give significantly
less than Americans (CAF online)
Insufficient trust ● Insufficient impact and outcome measurements (Harvard Kennedy School)
● Insufficient financial transparency (Reich)
Ineffective tax regime
(Reich)
● Insufficient tax incentives
● Tax deductions (for giving) difficult to justify
Constraints on effectiveness of giving
Ineffective donor
choices
● Unhealthy concentration of power where donations intertwined with government policies (Reich)
● Ineffective donation choices due to following passions rather than needs on the ground (McAskill)
Insufficient
collaboration
(Harvard Kennedy
School)
● Insufficient collaboration (42% of foundations collaborate with other organisations and / or public
entities, 21% of foundations have partnerships with governments)
● Difficulties working with governments
Insufficient scrutiny
(Reich)
● Insufficient transparency
● Inability to separate for-profit and non-profit initiatives
Government
constraints
● Inability to tackle social challenges alone (Harvard Kennedy School)
● Decreasing support in politically sensitive areas (McAskill)
● Loss of control by state when “outsourced” to philanthropy (Reich)

MacAskill’s framework to select causes:
● Scale: How many people benefit, and by how much?
○ Magnitude of problem? Effect on lives in short and long run?
● Neglectedness: Is this the most effective thing you can do?
○ “Best” health and education programs are 100x better than “very good” programs
○ Too much funding is ineffective use of funds (e.g. natural disasters) vs. ongoing
causes that are underfunded
● Tractability: What would have happened otherwise?
○ Programs can do more harm or make no difference.
○ Ease of solving problem? Ease of tracking progress? Existing interventions and
how strong is evidence behind these interventions? Likelihood of discovering new
promising interventions within cause?
● Personal fit: What are the chances of success, and how good would success be?
○ Some activities (e.g. entering politics) effective not because of likelihood to make
difference but impact if make a difference.
○ Likelihood of making a big difference given skills, resources, knowledge, connections and
passions?

days of children’s lives has large advantages throughout life
Health and disease: chronic and infectious diseases have huge global impact
(particularly in the developing world)
Green R&D: research for green technologies to combat climate change, reduce
subsidies on less effective renewable energies

3) Effectiveness of giving: Donor types
Source: The Seven Faces of Philanthropy
Communitarians Doing good makes sense for them. They focus on how to make their community a
better place to work and live.
The Devout Giving is a religious act and a moral obligation.
Investors Charity as good business: (1) want to help charitable causes, and (2) want to be
tax wise about giving
Socialites Like to help nonprofits by attending and organising social functions and multiply
giving through their social networks
Altruists Affluent donors that give out of sense of moral imperative. Modest and prefer to
give anonymously
Repayers Former recipients of a nonprofit’s services. Focused on education and medical
causes.
Dynasts Inherit their wealth. Grew up with money and have been socialised to value of
giving. Giving is a quality in their family and they are expected to support
nonprofits.

universities, hospitals and
cultural institutions, which
are usually very

3) Effectiveness of giving: Stated preference for social giving
Donors advocate social giving...
● Public statements of 60% of Giving
Pledge members and donors listed in the
Forbes 50 Top Givers list state that
affecting social change is their main
philanthropic goal.
● 80% of this group state that social
change is in their top 3 philanthropic
priorities.
… but they don’t do it (only 20% of giving)
Source: Stanford Social Innovation Review.
Reasons for contradiction (Stanford
Social Innovation Review):
● Inability to find opportunities to work
on social issues
● Insufficient market for nonprofit
investments
● Difficulty to find information on
impact
● High public risk, less public reward
● Donor underinvestment in making
deals / due diligence
● Lack of personal relationships
