Taxation and philanthropy: close relatives or complete strangers?
If philanthropy is seen as a voluntary form of wealth redistribution, what is the logic of part-funding it with public money, which in effect is what tax concessions do?
This kind of either/or approach, which seems to look on philanthropy as partial substitute for taxation seems flawed. If they are both forms of redistribution, does their relationship need to be realigned?
In any case, the evidence that tax incentives do significantly increase philanthropy is mixed at best and, again, if it does, the effects may well aggravate existing inequalities.
Questions include:
- Should countries that operate tax incentives introduce a graduated set of incentives or a cap (a paper by the OECD suggests this as one possibility)?
- Where do foundations fit in?
- Should their tax status be reviewed or should that of existing foundations be allowed to remain as it is, in effect discriminating against newly-established foundations which will have a different tax status?
Moderated by Features Editor Andrew Milner, speakers include:
Marlene Engelhorn
Activist, philanthropist and co-founder of taxmenow
Chenai Mukumba
Executive Director at the Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA)
Gabriela Sandoval
Executive Director at EWDI - Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute

Philanthropy and the common good
Переглядів 1672 місяці тому
The atomisation of society, an economy based on competition and growing distrust of politics and of institutions in general: these are some of the factors that have led to a diminished commitment to the common good (broadly, anything that benefits and is shared by all members of a given community). Yet, thus broadly understood, pursuit of the common good should be a necessary step in producing ...

Leadership of philanthropy, leadership by philanthropy
Переглядів 3237 місяців тому
Philanthropy is grappling with the role it must play in responding to what is being called the polycrisis - climate and environmental crises, entrenched economic inequalities, and social injustices. The material role that philanthropy can play - the provision of resources, the creation legislation, etc - is obviously limited but does it have a leadership role to play? There are broadly three as...
Philanthropy and politics
Переглядів 27210 місяців тому
There is a long-running debate about the relationship between philanthropy and politics. Traditional received wisdom is that philanthropists should steer of politics, but there is a growing view that the two are inseparable and that philanthropy both can and should take a political position. Some do more than take a political position, funding political parties, too. This happens at both ends o...
Community philanthropy: Re-imagining the sector

Against the tide of changing funding flows, and increasingly restrictive operating environments for civil society across the world, community philanthropy organisations are centring local agency, relationships and trust. Traditional tools used by funders, often developed outside of communities, can contribute to existing inequities. But pathways between the traditional development system and co...
The ecosystem - and why we can’t do without it
Переглядів 23011 місяців тому
Social Impact Infrastructure Organisations (SIIOs) which comprise the philanthropic sector, are as necessary to its existence as our own ecosystem is to our survival as human beings. In spite of this and of the signal contribution it makes to philanthropy the world over, its value is seldom appreciated and it remains under-funded and under-resourced generally. Yet, if funders were to invest in ...

    Necessitamos de uma Filantropia genuína e que não Beneficie somente as Elites académicas e Científicas ; as pesquisas Científicas básicas , ou as mentes mais Brilhantes do Mundo . Necessitamos de uma Filantropia resultante de uma reflexão séria , realista e cuidadosa ! Uma Filantropia com Sensibilidade Social e a Força de um Imperativo Ético/Moral ! Necessitamos de Filantropos que não sejam apenas milionários gananciosos e sovinas . É que apesar de terem dinheiro em abundância , para gastar , neste Mundo e no outro , a maioria deles não abre mão da sua Fortuna para financiar Causas Sociais . As tentativas para sensibilizar este tipo de gente têm-se revelado um fracasso ...

    Pergunto-me se estas iniciativas incluem algum Projecto Criativo , Inovador e Independente , munido da eventual logística apropriada para concretizar os objectivos a que se propõe , enquadrado num tipo de Filantropia efectiva , independente de protocolos , e que seja uma Alternativa à Filantropia Convencional , limitada ao livre-arbítrio de intermediários e , na maioria dos casos , necessitando de angariar prestígio através dos "Holofotes" mediáticos , do agitar de bandeiras e do "Lançamento de Fogos de Artifício" , camuflando sempre os seus reais interesses e objectivos ... Creio mesmo que este tipo de gente está desprovida de acções que façam realmente a Diferença . Qualquer pessoa que peça um Donativo , explícita ou implicitamente , deveria ser , pelo menos , escrutinada e , após efectuadas as devidas diligências , posteriormente seleccionada , ou não , como a contemplada de uma eventual acção de Doação ( mesmo sob o mais rigoroso sigilo e anonimato ) , por parte dessas pessoas com poder , influência e recursos financeiros , e que demonstram vontade de se tornarem Empreendedores Sociais ( com a intenção de intervir e transformar a realidade em que estão inseridas , sem o Clássico e Básico objectivo do Lucro , ou de Ganhos Financeiros , tendo , como fim , Causas Sociais realistas ; auxiliar pessoas , uma Comunidade ; uma Classe Social desfavorecida , e , com essa acção conseguir alcançar transformações efectivas e positivas , proporcionando assim uma melhor qualidade de vida a certas pessoas específicas dentro de uma determinada Comunidade - idosos fragilizados ; deficientes , ou pessoas com determinado grau de incapacidade ) ! Mas este tipo de gente , pelo que me apercebo , opta por refugiar-se num silêncio sepulcral , em vez de se envolver directamente em situações concretas ; consistentes , não prestando um mínimo de atenção a propostas de Filantropia Directa e Actuante , e que lida com pessoas reais e casos reais ! Muitas destas pessoas preferem deixar que as suas Fortunas sejam Administradas por Advogados , Consultores Financeiros , Administradores Bancários , e por representantes de Fundações Privadas , que prometem , como Intermediários , aplicar as Fortunas doadas "Em coisas muito boas e que não são para enriquecer" ; Boas Causas Sociais e para auxílio aos mais necessitados ... E , como exemplo disso , temos o caso de uma Instituição da Igreja Católica , o Opus Dei , que tem Herdado fortunas colossais ... Mas , afinal , na prática , não têm empregue esses Fundos , conforme o previamente acordado entre as partes ! Têm aproveitado para , isso sim , restaurar o seu Património , Financiar interesses e Ideologias Políticas ( Muitas das pessoas associadas a Organizações do Espectro Político de Extrema-Direita integram Redes Religiosas e assumem Papéis-Chave em Organizações Religiosas . Em algumas das Fundações Privadas , o Fundador é membro do Opus Dei , ou faz parte de um Partido Político ) e a sua sede em Nova Iorque ! E essas pessoas preferem continuar a acreditar cegamente em quem lhes Administra as Fortunas , mesmo continuando a ser enganados , legando-as a "Lobos com capa de Cordeiros" , em vez de deixarem parte delas ( mesmo sob o mais rigoroso anonimato ) a alguém que conheçam e que saibam que passa dificuldades reais ( e que até pode ser o seu vizinho ) . Afinal qual é o Impacto real deste suposto Investimento Social privado ?
