Journal Article
A Failure of Philanthropy: American Charity Shortchanges the Poor, and Public Policy Is Partly to Blame
2005
Overview
Helping the poor & disadvantaged is supposedly a main goal of philanthropy. Yet American charity does a bad job of funneling resources from the Haves to the have-nots. Our government encourages & rewards this failure with hefty tax incentives to donors -- incentives which themselves favor the privileged over the less fortunate. If a major point of philanthropy is to serve the underserved, then public policies regulating charity need to change. Adapted from the source document.
