  • Philanthropic Landscape
    SNAPSHOT OF TODAY’S PHILANTHROPIC LANDSCAPE A Guide to Philanthropy in the U.S. 8th Edition, 2019 Letter// INTRODUCTION: from the Reflections Chairman on the Latest Data In 2018, charitable giving in the United States reached a record-breaking $427 billion reported in contributions from individuals, companies, foundations, and charitable bequests. Despite this extraordinary number, there are some underlying trends which raise concerns about the participation of American households in charitable giving. Annual surveys, such as the Philanthropy Panel Study by the IUPUI Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, indicate that the percentage of American households that report making charitable gifts has declined. The most significant dip was during the financial crisis in 2009 with an estimated 14 million fewer U.S. households reporting charitable gifts. Evidence of this trend can be seen in decreasing support in the religious sector, declining alumni participation rates at many educational institutions, and lower engagement in several leading corporate matching gift programs. In contrast, the philanthropic activity of American households with an income of $200,000 or more is growing in significance as evidenced by large publicly reported charitable gifts, institutional fundraising success stories, and an influx of personal assets into donor-advised funds. Those who do give are giving considerably more. There are more than one million registered nonprofit organizations in the United States. How these institutions respond to these trends will affect their revenue streams well into the future. With this in mind, we have endeavored to consolidate many insightful reports on giving and volunteering into this Snapshot of Today’s Philanthropic Landscape.

  • The Impact of Organizational Characteristics on Super PAC
    The Impact of Organizational Characteristics on Super PAC Financing and Independent Expenditures Paul S. Herrnson University of Connecticut [email protected] Presented at the Meeting of the Campaign Finance Task Force, Bipartisan Policy Center, Washington, DC, April 21, 2017 (revised June 2017). 1 Exe cutive Summa ry Super PACs have grown in number, wealth, and influence since the Supreme Court laid the foundation for their formation in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, and the decisions reached by other courts and the FEC clarified the boundaries of their political participation. Their objectives and activities also have evolved. Super PACs are not nearly as monolithic as they have been portrayed by the media. While it is inaccurate to characterize them as representative of American society, it is important to recognize that they vary in wealth, mission, structure, affiliation, political perspective, financial transparency, and how and where they participate in political campaigns. Organizational characteristics influence super PAC financing, including the sums they raise. Organizational characteristics also affect super PAC independent expenditures, including the amounts spent, the elections in which they are made, the candidates targeted, and the tone of the messages delivered. The super PAC community is not static. It is likely to continue to evolve in response to legal challenges; regulatory decisions; the objectives of those who create, administer, and finance them; and changes in the broader political environment. 2 Contents I.

Though we will Be adding to this report over time, the overall sense we have now is that it is not only the federal judiciary that has a proBlem of harassment among its ranks, and states confronting harassment in the judiciary each seem to have their own unique, frankly underwhelming, methods of handling complaints and (attempting to) improve overall anti-harassment training and directives. In the end, it looks as if judges accused of misconduct – even those who committed several such acts – can simply retire with full Benefits, as they can at the federal level, and without further examination, save in the Arkansas example. And in the states we’ve looked at so far, no constructive statutory changes have been made that would both deter bad behavior and punish it when it occurs. Instead, there’s Been a hodgepodge of responses: • After his predecessor went to jail, an Arkansas judge Brought cameras into the courtroom as a means to make the judiciary more transparent and restore puBlic trust; • California created its own workplace conduct working group, akin to the one created in the federal courts; • Georgia lawmakers make a 180-degree turn from its previous policy and convinced voters to allow its formerly independent judicial qualifications committee to come under legislative rule; • Illinois mandated anti-harassment training for some judges; and • New York revised its policy on sexual harassment, though not to everyone’s satisfaction.

  • Election Spending 2016: Just Three Interests Dominate, Shadow Parties Continue to Rise
    Election Spending 2016: Just Three Interests Dominate, Shadow Parties Continue to Rise Ian Vandewalker *Research provided by Alexis Farmer Outside spending — expenditures by groups other than candidates themselves — is pouring into the races that will determine control of the U.S. Senate. As part of our series on money in key Senate races, the Brennan Center has examined the outside spending in 10 close contests.1 New data will become available in the next week that will allow us to paint a full picture of spending trends in 2016’s most competitive Senate races. In the meantime, our preliminary analysis reveals two important trends: The courts’ deregulation of outside money is not allowing a wider array of voices to fund elections. On the contrary, just a handful of partisan and ideological interests with vast resources, especially the major parties, are using the looser rules to increasingly monopolize election funding. The parties are shifting their resources outside the official committees, which raise money subject to contribution limits and required disclosure of donors, to super PACs and nonprofits controlled by party operatives but able to take unlimited and often secret donations. Spending Is Dominated by Just Three Interests More than half of the outside spending in key Senate races comes from just three interests: the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and the political network founded by the industrialist Koch brothers. Counting expenditures from FEC data, media reports, and press releases, we found $321 million spent by entities other than the candidates in the 10 closest Senate races (Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).

  • The Wealth Elasticity of Political Contributions by the Forbes 400 Adam Bonica * Howard Rosenthal** Stanford University New York University
    The Wealth Elasticity of Political Contributions by the Forbes 400 Adam Bonica * Howard Rosenthal** Stanford University New York University Abstract: Inequality in campaign contributions in the American plutocracy has grown hand in hand with the growth in economic inequality. We report on the campaign contributions of the Forbes 400 wealthiest individuals from 1983 to 2012. We find that the wealth elasticity of individual contributions is around 1.0 without statistical controls but remains around 0.6 even with fixed effects for individuals and election cycles. The results suggest that the inequality in campaign contributions is largely driven by the increase in economic inequality. The sensitivity of contributions to individual wealth mainly benefits Republicans. In contrast, turnover in membership in the 400 has favored the Democrats. * Department of Political Science, Stanford University, 307 Encina Hall West, Stanford, CA 94305, [email protected]. ** Wilf Family Department of Politics, New York University, 2nd Floor, 19 W. 4th Street, New York, NY 10012, [email protected] 0 The Forbes 400 series of the wealth of the 400 wealthiest Americans, published annually since 1982, allows us to match wealth with individual campaign contributions in federal elections. The direct empirical motivation of the paper is to examine whether the contributions of the super wealthy correlate with variations in their individual wealth. We have constructed a (unbalanced) panel of wealth and contributions data for 1982- 2012. In a larger context, however, it is important to ask how political inequality, as measured by inequality in campaign contributions, relates to inequality in wealth. Individual contributions are important and have been larger, when aggregated, then contributions by PACs (political action committees) and other organizations (Bonica et al., 2013).
