We are pleased to share the fall 2019 issue of the Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), featuring as its cover story a highly-collaborative article that focuses on several “myths” of philanthropy, written by members of the faculty at our school.
These eight myths touch on topics such as religious giving, giving to endowments, small gifts, generosity among women, immigrants, millennials, those from other countries, individuals of color, and motivations for giving.
At the end of each myth are tips and advice for nonprofit practitioners on how this research impacts their day-to-day work.
We are proud to connect research from top experts in the field with practical application as we strive to make it our mission to connect research to nonprofit practitioners, policymakers, and many more whom the philanthropic sector impacts.
In addition to highlighting the great research that is being done at our school individually and collectively, this article is an important step on our path toward discerning how we can best provide useful research-to-practice resources.
