Articles on social change from the latest edition of SSIR
Fall 2006
Volume 4, Number 3
The fall 2006 issue of Stanford Social Innovation Review has much to offer those interested in donor behavior and the culture of giving. “A New Take on Tithing” reveals that if affluent Americans contributed at levels that match their income, charitable giving would increase by $100 billion a year. “Your Inner Philanthropist” explores the downsides of giving with your heart, and “It Takes a Stick” draws a strong correlation between a society’s generosity and how punitive it is.
