The 7 faces of philanthropy simplified
I finally got around to reading a terrific book titled The 7 Faces of Philanthropy (Prince & File).
Boy am I sorry I waited so long.
I strongly recommend checking it out. But if you’re lazy like me, here’s Larry Van Oort‘s simplified description of what their research uncovered.
7 basic segments of philanthropists:
Communitarians (26%): Doing Good Makes Sense
The Devout (21%): Doing Good is God’s Will
The Investor (15%): Doing Good Is Good Business
The Socialite (11%): Doing Good Is Fun
The Altruist (9%): Doing Good Feels Right
The Repayer (10%): Doing Good in Return
The Dynast (8%): Doing Good Is a Family Tradition

Feeling like your job is getting harder because donor expectations have changed and competition for the charitable dollar is growing?
Finding that the old orthodoxies and conventions espoused by so-called experts in online echo-chambers and at conferences don’t work anymore?
Want to help more people make impact by facilitating their acts of philanthropy but feel like too many obstacles keep getting in your way?
Then this book is for you.
Engagement Fundraising was developed from the perspective of a donor who discovered firsthand that the impersonal, spray-and-pray approaches of his beloved charity were not only offensive but also wasteful and ineffective. So he took action. And now, you can too.
