New findings on generations & philanthropy
Established donors On the whole, feel more financially secure .Are distributing funds set aside in personal foundations.Have made charitable legacies.More likely to consult family and friends than a professional philanthropy adviser.Keen supporters of Religion (least favoured cause of younger group).Almost all (97%) have helped with fundraising.Twice as likely to agree that public recognition is a driver of philanthropy.More likely to feel wealth-holding brings responsibilities and obligations to society.
Emerging donorsOn the whole, are wealthier in terms of both income and net wealth.Are still setting up personal foundations.Focused on giving whilst living, not via a legacy.Twice as likely to seek professional philanthropy advice.More likely to involve their children in giving decisions.Twice as likely to feel that public opinion about philanthropy is hostile.A quarter (26%) have never got involved with fundraising.

Towards a new typology1. Started Young (e.g. brought up in a philanthropic family, or attended a
school with a strong philanthropic ethos)2. Rag Timers (first experiences at university, such as Rag Week)3. Workplace Wonders (got going as a result of corporate philanthropy
such as payroll giving or staff fundraising)4. Friendly Push (people whose social networks have got them involved)5. In and Outers (people who’ve been switched on and off by good and
bad experiences of engaging with charities)6. Spare changers (those originally attracted by fundraising appeals)7. Sleeve rolled ups (those who start with significant volunteering
experience, such as with Pilotlight)8. Ready Money (those who gave money pretty readily but never wanted
to be hands-on before)
