Mapping the New World of American Philanthropy

Causes and Consequences of the Transfer of Wealth

In the next several decades, as much as $41 trillion will change hands from members of the baby boomer generation to their progeny, and to some extent, America's charities. The ranks of those charities have grown enormously. In 1940, the nation had 15,000 nonprofits; today there are an estimated 1.5 million. If even a third of today's high-end estimate of the resource transfer actually reaches nonprofits, that $6 trillion is six times today's annual income flow. What happens when this bushel-full of money rains down on nonprofits? How will they respond to the managerial and organizational challenges??Can the current system support this new influx of money?
