Pre-order the June 2023 issue: New giving vehicles and tools

New giving vehicles and tools have proliferated in recent years with the conventional foundation model being supplemented by the growth of donor advised funds, limited liability companies and personalised giving services. At the same time, technology is providing more direct means of fundraising and giving and bringing in new people as donors and beneficiaries.

What are the implications of these changes and what lies behind them? Is the conventional foundation model being supplanted? Are new means of individual giving like crowdfunding transcending donor-grantee divides and producing a move towards greater democracy in philanthropy? This special feature will explore the nature and effects of these new dynamics and the implications for institutional philanthropy.
