Young Philanthropists Seek Bigger Roles
A new generation of philanthropists is helping aging parents decide how to dole out donations to charitable organizations, and many of these younger philanthropists are taking a much more hands-on approach than their predecessors, reports The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Younger givers seek out ways to volunteer with organizations they want to support and are more likely to be entrepreneurial, the paper says. Also, more are becoming involved with family giving through donor-advised funds. At the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta, such funds increased from under 400 in 2001 to more than 630 in 2007, the paper reports.
