本文探讨了慈善资本主义的概念——一种新兴的慈善捐赠模式，旨在通过应用某些商业技术来加强慈善事业的实践，特别是由一群超级富有、经验丰富的商业人士巧妙地进行。在过去十五年中，但最引人注目的是在过去五年中，受慈善资本主义及其先驱者影响的私人基金会在与受资助者公共慈善机构的互动方面变得越来越具有指导性、控制性、注重指标和商业导向，试图证明基金会的工作是“战略性的”和“负责任的”。本文结合实证分析和理论批判，挑战了普遍的观点，即慈善资本主义提供了更好、更明智的慈善事业，从而加强了整个非营利部门。事实上，在观察和记录了与慈善资本主义相关的原则和言论之后，我们发现向商业化、市场驱动的捐赠的转变可能会改变慈善事业的性质，而这种转变可能会令我们后悔。此外，本文将对慈善资本主义的担忧与对公共和私人之间界限模糊的更广泛的担忧联系起来。我认为非营利学者和倡导者应该更加关注这一运动及其“成功”对社会部门可能意味着什么。
This Article explores the concept of philanthrocapitalism - an emerging model for charitable giving intended to enhance the practice of philanthropy through the application of certain business techniques, particularly envisioned as being deftly carried out by a subset of ultra-rich, experienced business people. During the past fifteen years, but most strikingly in the past five, private foundations influenced by philanthrocapitalism and its forbearers have become increasingly directive, controlling, metric focused, and business oriented with respect to their interactions with grantee public charities in an attempt to demonstrate that the work of the foundations is “strategic” and “accountable.” Combining empirical analysis and theoretical critique, this Article challenges the prevailing wisdom that philanthrocapitalism offers a better, smarter philanthropy, thereby strengthening the entire nonprofit sector. In fact, after observing and documenting the tenets of and rhetoric associated with philanthrocapitalism, there is a serious risk that the shift to business-like, market-driven giving may change the nature of philanthropy in ways we will come to regret. Moreover, this Article links concerns about philanthrocapitalism to a broader disquiet about the blurring lines between the public and the private. I argue that nonprofit scholars and advocates should pay greater attention to this movement and what its “success” might mean for the social sector.
