We conducted a natural field experiment to explore the effect of price changes on charitable contributions. To operationalize our tests, we examine whether an offer to match contributions to a non-profit organization changes the likelihood and amount that an individual donates. Direct mail solicitations were sent to over 50,000 prior donors. We find that the match offer increases both the revenue per solicitation and the probability that an individual donates. While comparisons of the match treatments and the control group consistently reveal this pattern, larger match ratios (i.e., $3:$1 and $2:$1) relative to smaller match ratios ($1:$1) had no additional impact. The results have clear implications for practitioners in the design of fundraising campaigns and provide avenues for future empirical and theoretical work on charitable giving. Further, the data provide an interesting test of important methods used in cost-benefit analysis.

Over the past couple of decades, differentials in the level of private contributions to charitable organizations have become a central matter of public policy. Because private charitable contributions finance many socially valuable activities (for example, education and the arts), many governments have tried to boost private philanthropy through various active policy interventions. Furthermore, the temptation to rely on private contributions to finance the provision of public goods has increased substantially in recent years as fiscal constraints have become tighter. Yet there is little robust quantitative evidence regarding the differentials in private charitable giving across countries, and more importantly very little consensus on why these differentials may exist. This volume provides an original, comparative, and historical analysis of charitable giving and of tax policies towards private philanthropy across different countries. It sheds new light on the determinants of private philanthropy and offers interesting practical insights for improving tax policies towards charitable giving.

A long literature has examined the effects of the price of giving - that is, the amount an in-dividual must give for one dollar to accrue to the charitable activity itself - on donative behavior. We use data from DonorsChoose.org, an online platform linking teachers with prospective donors, that are uniquely suited to addressing this question due to exogenous variation in overhead costs. An increased price of giving results in a lower likelihood of a project being funded. We also calculate the price elasticity of giving, finding estimates between -0.8 and -2; these are likely to be upper bounds on the tax price elasticity of charitable donations. Finally, we examine the effect of competition on giving and find that increased competition reduces the likelihood of a project being funded. These results provide insight into the workings of the market for charitable gifts.

Schiff presents a framework within which charitable behavior can be understood from an economist's viewpoint. He stresses the impact of various government fiscal policies on charitable giving, an issue of increasing importance in light of social welfare spending cuts and the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The book begins with an introduction of the issues involved and an explanation of how an economic analysis differs from that of other disciplines. Using a model of basic giving, he describes conditions under which government spending will crowd out, or reduce, charitable giving. This analysis is then extended in several different directions in the balance of the book. In conclusion, Schiff considers likely future trends in the charitable sector.

This paper investigates the relationship between heterogeneous social preferences and charitable giving under alternative prices of giving and types of subsidies (matching and rebates). We compare within-person decision-making in alternative contexts to determine whether there is carry over in behavior from one economic situation to another. Participants' social preferences are categorized as self-interested, inequity averse, or social surplus maximizing through a set of ten allocation decisions. In charitable giving treatments, we find evidence supporting several predictions consistent with the social preference types: social surplus maximizers are more likely than others to give to a charity that increases production, inequity averters and compassionate social surplus maximizers give more to charity than do other groups; all preference types give more when the price of giving declines, and social surplus maximizers and self-interested are more responsive to the price of giving than are inequity averters. We also find that all categories give more under matching than rebate subsidies and that rebates at lowsubsidy rates crowd-out private giving of inequity averters and compassionate social surplus maximizers. Price responsiveness is smaller under rebates than matching for all types and inequity averters do not respond to the price of giving under rebates. Our findings that people with different social preferences respond differently to incentives and to the type of charity have important implications for designing charitable fundraising campaigns.

Charitable giving is an important resource for nonprofit organizations, particularly for small and start-up organizations. For these types of organizations, securing existing charitable giving is essential, not only for their growth, but also for their survival. Existing studies on charitable giving have focused on organizational strategies that nonprofits can adopt or individual traits that lead to favorable attitudes or behaviors toward charitable giving. However, less attention has been paid to the individual decision-making process to give. In this respect, this dissertation develops one cognitive pathway in charitable giving: the perceived "price" of giving. The perceived "price" of giving originated in the economic literature, and refers to the way individuals perceive how much they have to give to produce one-dollar worth of program output. Based upon this process, this study focuses on the way people interpret and are influenced by information about an organization's performance and reputational signals in their decisions to give. Using a large-N online experiment (total N = 9,238), I test the way individuals understand different performance signals through the mechanism of perceived "price" of giving. In Chapter 3, I validate the mechanism by which perceived "price" of giving influences charitable giving. Chapter 4 investigates the relationship between the signals of organizational reputational effectiveness and charitable giving and tests the mediating effect of the perceived "price" of giving. Chapter 5 studies the way perceived "price" of giving mediates the relationship between the signals of organizational trustworthiness and charitable giving. The findings suggest that the perceived "price" of giving is indeed an effective mechanism of charitable giving, and the two types of organizational signals are found to have significant effects on giving to varying degrees. This dissertation contributes to our knowledge of charitable giving by developing a mechanism of individual decision-making to give, suggesting a cognitive process that influences charitable giving, and finding evidence of this cognitive pathway and important organizational signals that influence perceived "price" of giving and individuals' charitable giving decisions.

The United States is distinctive among Western countries in its reliance on nonprofit institutions to perform major social functions. This reliance is rooted in American history and is fostered by federal tax provisions for charitable giving. In this study, Charles T. Clotfelter demonstrates that changes in tax policy—effected through legislation or inflation—can have a significant impact on the level and composition of giving. Clotfelter focuses on empirical analysis of the effects of tax policy on charitable giving in four major areas: individual contributions, volunteering, corporate giving, and charitable bequests. For each area, discussions of economic theory and relevant tax law precede a review of the data and methodology used in econometric studies of charitable giving. In addition, new econometric analyses are presented, as well as empirical data on the effect of taxes on foundations. While taxes are not the most important determinant of contributions, the results of the analyses presented here suggest that charitable deductions, as well as tax rates and other aspects of the tax system, are significant factors in determining the size and distribution of charitable giving. This work is a model for policy-oriented research efforts, but it also supplies a major (and very timely) addition to the evidence that must inform future proposals for tax reform.
