Overview
https://research.qut.edu.au/australian-centre-for-philanthropy-and-nonprofit-studies/https://research.qut.edu.au/australian-centre-for-philanthropy-and-nonprofit-studies/Philanthropy (defined here as structured giving through organisations such as foundations) is growing strongly and expected to benefit significantly from the intergenerational transfer of wealth in the coming decades. The accountability of philanthropy is a vital discussion, as criticism grows internationally of the lack of transparency, particularly for wealthy philanthropists who use their retained influence over donated and taxpayer-subsided funds to pursue their individual interests and influence public policy. There are current calls for a national blueprint or strategy for Australian philanthropy in the next 20 years, however there is a critical shortage of research underpinning such plans. This project will build the evidence base for future accountability.
