Research shows that high net worth donors contribute a disproportionately high share of all philanthropic dollars (Havens & Schervish, 2001 ; Havens, O‟Herlihy, & Schervish, 2006). However, little is known about patterns in high net worth giving. Scholars continue to investigate the characteristics of high net worth giving and high net worth donors in an effort to better understand how and why this subset of donors contribute their time and money.en-USMillion Dollar GivingPhilanthropyStatisticsWorking Paper
