Philanthropy in Communities of Color

by Jennifer Lisa Vest, Bradford Smith, Joseph Villarreal, et al.

Philanthropy is often associated with wealthy people giving large amounts of money to charitable organizations and indirectly to people they don't personally know. Ethnic philanthropy is almost totally different: it consists primarily of people sharing modest wealth with other people, most of whom the givers know well. Too often communities of color are portrayed as takers rather than givers--this important study debunks that myth.
