No, it's my personal experience that the foundation that hosted my DAF did almost nothing to encourage me to make distributions. See article by

We await anything near what happened in the first Gilded Age. Chesterton on Rockefeller, "Philanthropy is the recognizable mark of a wicked man." Teddy Roosevelt, "No amount of charities in spending such fortunes can compensate in any way for the misconduct in acquiring them."pic.twitter.com/g52ymbLIpj

Well, that must also be the dynamic at work with mayors who have accepted Bloomberg philanthropy. There's the danger of more responsiveness to the donor -- Bloomberg -- than to all citizens. Is it accidental that every mayor who's endorsed Bloomberg is a recipient of his $?pic.twitter.com/uYvI3TAjwQ

Why refuse political donations for his campaign? The reason offered is that it makes him completely independent. He'll be responsive to all citizens, not the special interests of the wealthy.pic.twitter.com/kkNtQZTax2

One can agree that Bloomberg's philanthropy has brought about real improvements in the lives of many people. That his efforts in cities are especially important. And that his motivations are praiseworthy. Do these actions curry special favor with mayors?pic.twitter.com/E7XZHn0cn4

In other words, donate your art, reduce your taxes, and keep the art in your home anyway.pic.twitter.com/cfQmKrUMkg

And yet as
@BenSoskis says, the case of@benioff shows us the limits of philanthropy in democratic societies. And the dangers of depending on the good will of the rich. It's not impertinent to badger Benioff about his outsized power. It's a journalistic and civic duty.pic.twitter.com/wRjk0ef2Oa

It's not a new phenomenon. Behold the
@lillyendowment in Indianapolis, Eli Broad in Los Angeles, Carnegie in Pittsburgh, and so on. Here's a 19th century cartoon of Jay Gould and William Vanderbilt whose philanthropy is asphyxiating Uncle Sam.pic.twitter.com/izhaDMX1I3

By all accounts he's full of civic munificence. But does
@salesforce pay any corporate tax? Does it lobby for its policies at odds with@benioff's call for higher taxes on the wealthy? Will slush funds for SF school principals be enough to combat the cost of living for teachers?pic.twitter.com/o4XY6neJuf

Can plutocrats be domesticated to serve rather than subvert democracy?
@chriscolin3000's longread in@WIRED give us a portrait of@Benioff, whose corporate leadership and philanthropy reveals a different model of a billionaire and also the limits of voluntary domestication.pic.twitter.com/Relvv81MJh

Every year on
#GivingTuesday I share some of the charities that I supported today. I hope to use social connections to call attention to the work of these extraordinary organizations. For every retweet of this post, I'll donate $2. For every like, $1. Will tally on Friday.pic.twitter.com/O9cdBxj6Tg

One of the biggest transformations in philanthropy is increasing dependence of civil society organizations on donations by the wealthy. The phenomenon of middle class giving is in depressing decline. This is one of the reasons I'm a proud board member of

Criticism of big philanthropy is hitting the cultural mainstream. Amazed to see

Recommended holiday weekend viewing!
@tylercowen's 2019 Arrow Lecture at@stanfordethics on the moral imperative of economic growth. Cowen entertained@GretaThunberg's idea that eternal economic growth is a perverse fairy tale.https://youtu.be/EO5jJFpbJvg?t=243 … -
Big philanthropy is an exercise of power by the wealthy that is unaccountable, low on transparency, donor-directed, perpetual, and generously tax advantaged. More in my book -- Just Giving -- about the relationship between philanthropy and democracy. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/069118349X pic.twitter.com/cswBOIShuZ
