Philanthropy: A Leader's Role in Community
Cugliari, Christine Wetherholt; Earnest, Garee W.
Journal of Leadership Education, v6 n1 p73-91 Win 2007
This study of philanthropy donors in Appalachian Ohio was conducted with the purpose of understanding giving within a rural region. The research was initiated with an ultimate goal of increasing endowed assets in communities that are experiencing philanthropic poverty. The data collected from donors utilizing post-positivist qualitative research methods revealed not only donor giving rationale, but also steps community leaders can take to encourage giving communities and build philanthropic assets that will permit communities to help themselves.
