Full textAbstract:
Online charitable crowdfunding has become an increasingly prevalent way for Canadians to deal with costs that they would otherwise not be able to shoulder on their own. With the onset of COVID-19 and related lockdown measures, there is evidence of a surge in crowdfunding use relating to the pandemic. This study gathered, classified, and analysed Canadian crowdfunding campaigns created in response to COVID-19 from GoFundMe.com, a popular crowdfunding platform. Spatio-temporal analysis of classified campaigns allowed for observation of emergent trends in the distribution of pandemic-related need incidence and financial support throughout the pandemic. Campaigns raising money on behalf of established charities were the most common in the sample, and accounted for the greatest portion of funding raised, while campaigns for businesses made up a small proportion. Dense metropolitan areas accounted for the vast majority of campaign locations, and total sample funding was disproportionately raised by campaigners in Ontario and British Columbia.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to better understand the relation between information technology (IT) affordances and donor motivations in charitable crowdfunding. Design/methodology/approach – This paper reports the findings from a comparative case study of two charitable crowdfunding campaigns. Findings – The affordances of crowdfunding platforms support types of donor motivation that are not supported effectively, or at all, in offline charity. Research limitations/implications – For future researchers, the paper provides a theoretical model of the relation between IT affordances and motivations in the context of charitable crowdfunding. Practical/implications – For practitioners in the charity space, the paper suggests why they may wish to consider the use of charitable crowdfunding and how they may go about its implementation. Originality/value – Based on field research at two charitable crowdfunding campaigns, the paper provides a new theoretical model.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSocial media in China has not only become a popular means of communication, but also expanded the interaction between the government and online citizens. Why have some charitable crowdfunding campaigns had agenda-setting influence on public policy, while others have had limited or no impact? Based on an original database of 188 charitable crowdfunding projects currently active on Sina Weibo, we observe that over 80 per cent of long-term campaigns do not have explicit policy aspirations. Among those pursuing policy objectives, however, nearly two-thirds have had either agenda-setting influence or contributed to policy change. Such campaigns complement, rather than challenge existing government priorities. Based on field interviews (listed in Appendix A), case studies of four micro-charities – Free Lunch for Children, Love Save Pneumoconiosis, Support Relief of Rare Diseases, and Water Safety Program of China – are presented to highlight factors that contributed to their variation in public outcomes at the national level. The study suggests that charitable crowdfunding may be viewed as an “input institution” in the context of responsive authoritarianism in China, albeit within closely monitored parameters.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate, from the perspective of a retailer, which of two philanthropy programs (pay-what-you-want [PWYW] with charitable giving or mere donation) results in more positive impressions of, and behavioral intentions toward, the retailer sponsoring the program. Design/methodology/approach Two studies investigate the influence of donation format (PWYW with charitable giving versus mere donation) on attitude and behavioral intentions toward the retailer, the second of which also explores equity as the mediating mechanism that produces the more favorable attitudes and intentions. Findings Results indicate that PWYW with charitable giving is effective at enhancing purchase intentions and attitudes toward the retailer. Specifically, results suggest that the implementation of a PWYW with charitable giving format leads to higher perceptions of equity, ultimately leading to more positive attitudes and higher purchase intentions toward the retailer as compared with a mere donation format. Alternative explanations are examined and ruled out. Originality/value To date, research predominantly examines PWYW with charitable giving from a pricing perspective and has yet to explore how it compares with other donation campaigns in terms of the impact on consumers’ attitudes and intentions toward the sponsoring retailer. This research fills that gap and contributes to the literature by broadening the perspective by which PWYW with charitable giving is examined. Managerially, the research is important, as it suggests that consumers consider the equity of various donation formats and think more favorably of retailers using more equitable donation campaigns.

This study measured how consumers feel about firms that use cause-related marketing (CRM) and the charitable organizations that benefit from CRM. Respondents (N=225) were interviewed concerning cause-related marketing campaigns. Most respondents felt CRM was a good way to raise money for the cause, had purchased a product to help support a cause, and expressed favorable attitudes toward both the firm and the charitable organization. Women had more favorable attitudes toward both the firm and the cause than did males.

Full textAbstract:
Sport industry leaders have recognized the popularity of social media; however, some have struggled with quantifying the benefits of such usage (Fisher, 2009). This case explores the potential opportunities social media sites can provide to sport organizations. Golf tournament organizer TampaTourneys, LLC created an administrative Facebook page to keep its Facebook users informed about events. The organization also used the page to promote a cause related marketing campaign benefitting a charitable fundraiser. Partnering with Blackhawk Computers, TampaTourneys initiated a week-long campaign, which encouraged the tournament organizer’s Facebook fans to tell their respective Facebook friends about the fundraiser and become fans of the TampaTourneys Facebook page. In turn, the organization made a monetary donation on behalf of its current and new fans. Based on the campaign’s success, TampaTourneys decided to initiate a second and longer fundraising effort. The case asks students to analyze data collected from the first fundraising campaign and develop a new campaign for the tournament organizer.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the main contemporary models of media presentation of charitable activities, which illustrate the processes of media convergence and transformation of the functions of journalism - combining information-analytical and advertising goals, the emergence of PR journalism. Media presentation of charitable activities is closely connected with the media text of social topics, and with advertising and PR tasks, which causes some difficulties in the developing of media strategies of charitable organizations. The first basic model of media strategy is built on the principle of “horizontal links” - information is distributed pointwise through social networks without special marketing costs. The second basic model involves the widespread use of professional media resources: journalistic texts and public relations campaigns, the creation of media portals to expand the audience of donors. In today’s Russian media space, the use of business schemes by charitable organizations causes a public debate on the credibility of trust and the forms of accountability of the benefactor to society. The media space of social networks plays a huge ambivalent role in creating a media image of charitable activities. On the one hand, it provides an interactive link between the benefactor and the society, but on the other hand, it imposes special axiological requirements on the benefactor and his media activities.

Full textAbstract:
The donation-based crowdfunding platforms witness a mix of different entities seeking funding for numerous campaigns, adding complexities in understanding the donor behavior and factors that motivate donation. This study builds upon the economic theory of charitable giving and examines the ethical dilemma that donors face during the selection process. Using the data from Ketto.org, the biggest crowdfunding platform in India, this paper investigates the rank-order preference of donors while making a selection across heterogeneous entities and campaigns. The results show that campaigns run by non-profit organizations registered with causes that qualify for a tax-deduction receive a higher level of funding. Donors then fund unregistered non-profit organizations, followed by campaigns run by individuals. Demonstrating legitimacy by using subtle cues, like tagging “with tax-benefit,” motivates the donors to provide a higher amount of funding.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Past research on cause-related marketing (CRM) suggests that these socially beneficial initiatives are more effective when linked with hedonic than utilitarian products. Little is known, however, about the process underpinning this effect. This paper aims to investigate why and under what circumstances CRM enhances the appeal of hedonic products by testing the mediation of guilt and introducing the moderating role of cause-product fit. Design/methodology/approach The authors test a model of moderated mediation in two studies. Study 1 shows that the effectiveness of combining CRM with hedonic consumption is explained by the mediating role of feelings of guilt. Study 2 demonstrates that this mediation depends on the level of fit or congruency between the cause and the product. Findings Results suggest that CRM campaigns offer the opportunity to improve the consumption experiences of hedonic products by reducing the feelings of guilt intrinsically connected with these options. Moreover, fit moderates the emotional processes activated by CRM initiatives. When fit is high, CRM reduces guilt and improves consumers’ experiences when purchasing hedonic alternatives. Originality/value The study extends current understanding of how CRM can promote hedonic consumption and contributes further to research on guilt as an emotion able to promote responsible consumption decisions. Moreover, the study introduces and tests the impact of cause-product fit in predicting consumers’ ethical purchase intention. For managers of hedonic brands, the study offers important implications on how to deploy CRM campaigns to foster better customer experiences.

Full textAbstract:
The military and political events during August-September of 1914 resulted in the active incorporation of clerical institutions of the Katerynoslav diocese in organizing systemic and ideological support and material provision for the political course of the Russian autocracy, practical implementation of numerous internal political campaigns aimed at strengthening the state system and defence capabilities of the country, increasing the combat spirit of the current army and naval forces, participation in the mobilization of conscripts, consolidating the population for the practical solution of a number of socio-economic and agricultural problems caused by the war. A significant component of the organization of charity in the Katerynoslav diocese was the provision of systematic material assistance to the personnel of the military units of the Russian army. As a rule, it was mostly implemented in various forms: collecting donations for military purposes, organizing the systematic supply of warm clothes, shoes, bedding and underwear, necessary military equipment, foodstuffs, medicines, articles of daily necessity, tobacco and personal hygiene products. One of the major directions of charitable activity of the Orthodox clergy during the First World War was the organization of a chain of hospitals and military sick quarters which provided the necessary medical assistance to the wounded and sick soldiers and officers. At the initial stage of the First World War, the Orthodox clergy of the Katerynoslav diocese participated actively in the organization and conducting of numerous charitable events and campaigns aimed at providing financial and material assistance to the low-income categories of the population suffering from hostilities. The charitable activity of the Orthodox clergy met the principal needs of the Russian society and played an important role in the depreciation and smoothing of destructive phenomena of social entropy caused by the war. However, due to the economic crisis determined by the exponential growth of the military conflict, the gradual destruction of the economic system, the elimination of the financial resources of a great part of charitable institutions and private benefactors, the rapid increase of the population in need, the charitable activity of the church could not reach its goal and effectively solve a set of urgent problems of social protection of the population of the country and Prydniprovsk region.

Full textAbstract:
People are often influenced by information about other people’s behavior, that is, social information. Social information is frequently used by practitioners hoping to increase charitable giving, while the precise mechanisms through which social information works are unknown. We conducted a systematic literature review of 35 studies reporting on the effects of social information on charitable giving. We show that several studies report no or even negative effects and that a theoretical understanding of social information effects is lacking. We integrate the empirical findings in the wider fields of social psychology and behavioral economics and propose an integrative theoretical model. The model includes four mediators and three moderators that can explain positive and negative effects of social information. This theoretical framework can assist researchers to obtain a deeper understanding of social information and support practitioners in implementing giving tools in donation campaigns.

Full textAbstract:
The question of the causes and circumstances of overcoming hunger in Russia in the late 19th — early 20th centuries is considered in the article. Attention is paid to the analysis of historiographic material on the research topic. A review of food campaigns in Russia during the specified period is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the issue related to the circumstances of the 1891—1892 campaign, which demonstrated the inconsistency of the Food Regulations in effect in Russia since 1834. The author dwells on the issues of reforming the state food system. The main changes that took place in the state food system and associated with the approval of the food rules of 1900 are considered. The question is raised about the role of local governments in the state food policy of the period under study, as well as the perniciousness of the principle of “self-help”, which is the basis of the state food system. Attention is paid to the organization of charitable assistance to the population in the context of food campaigns. It is proved that the Russian village in the 90s of the XIX — early XX centuries was in a state of permanent food crisis due to the lack of a working model of the state food system.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of such a phenomenon in modern realities as Internet charity. The authors analyzed the forms of modern charity and its tools in the online reality, as well as considered specific campaigns using digital mechanisms. Charity is considered as a public detail, carried out exclusively on a voluntary basis. The main features are highlighted: the gratuitous basis; the choice of the place, volume and format of assistance; the social orientation of the activity, the subject of which can be either a private person or a legal entity; the non-state nature of the activity with possible state support for campaigns and NGOs. In modern Russian society, charity is not a national tradition. However, today there are a large number of charitable foundations, non-profit organizations, as well as private initiatives on the part of citizens. The virtualization process makes it possible to introduce modern tools and mechanisms into the usual spheres of life, thanks to which most of the processes are simplified and become accessible to a larger number of citizens. The sphere of charity is also no exception. The development of ICT makes it possible to spread information to a larger audience, to mobilize a larger number of stakeholders, and to optimize the donation process. The article deals with cases of charitable activity in the Internet environment, innovative forms of charity, as well as what functions are performed by modern tools of the studied activity. We can say that the Internet charity today acts as a significant and effective resource due to the availability, efficiency, visibility, and scale of the dissemination of socially oriented information.

The activities of boarding schools in Transcarpathia in the first half of the XX-th century were organized and carried out with the direct participation of the state, but the active support of such institutions was carried out by various charitable organizations. The purpose of the article is to study the areas of cooperation of boarding schools in Transcarpathia in the first half of the XX-th century with charitable organizations. Methods applied: search and bibliographic method exists for the study of archival and library catalogs, collections and descriptions; content analysis of archival materials in order to identify the retro features of the organization and the content of cooperation of boarding schools of Transcarpathia with charitable organizations; interpretation and generalization − in order to update and identify ways to implement constructive historical experience in the modern practice of institutional care, formulation of conclusions, recommendations. The formation and development of boarding schools in Transcarpathia in the first half of the twentieth century depended primarily on the educational and social policy of the states to which the Transcarpathian lands belonged. Also, the activities of boarding schools of the first half of the XX-th century were accompanied by the active support of charitable public organizations that operated during the stay of the Transcarpathian lands as part of both Austria-Hungary and Czechoslovakia, including: League for the Protection of Children (creation of boarding schools at craft schools; holding charity events; supporting families in difficult life circumstances; organization of children's rehabilitation campaigns); the union «Shkolskaia pomoch» /»School help»/ (cooperation in the field of education of pupils of boarding schools, actively carries out student actions); union «Nadiya»/»Hope»/ (guardianship of war veterans' children); union of church teachers (guardianship of orphans of parish and state teachers, assistance in teaching in pedagogical education institutions); union «Patronage» (care for single mothers); counseling center «To our children»(care for the health of vulnerable children); Masaryk League against tuberculosis (children's recovery). Coordination of the actions of this unions, charitable foundations, public organizations was established on April 31, 1923 in the town Mukachevo. This work was carried out by the regional branch of the State Committee for Youth Guardianship, which was opened in the town Mukachevo in 1923.

This study contributes to recent discussions on voluntary disclosure as a signaling approach among nonprofit organizations and its effects on stakeholders’ decision-making. Focusing on nonprofit program effectiveness, we test how nonprofit campaigns providing information on three effectiveness indicators—outputs, outcomes, and impacts (as part of the logic framework)—influence donation and lending behavior. An online survey experiment ( N = 271) reveals that donors value outcome and impact indicators more than output information, without any differences between the two. Moreover, the three indicators have no statistical influences on lending behavior. We also consider the moderating role of reflective decision-making and find no influence on either donation or lending behavior.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyses the Ottoman government’s attempt to encourage Indian Muslims to purchase its treasury bonds during the Balkan Wars in 1912–13. It contrasts this largely unsuccessful scheme with the enormous contributions of Indian Muslims to the parallel campaign to raise relief funds for Ottoman soldiers and refugees. While this latter movement involved the intermittent dispatch of remittances to the Ottoman Ministry of Finance and Red Crescent, the bond drive demanded a multi-year commitment and conjured up a variety of financial and religious dilemmas for Indian Muslim constituencies. To better contextualise these divergent outcomes, this article first examines the infrastructures of Indian Muslim religious and financial exchange with the Ottoman Empire from the mid-nineteenth century. It then charts the charitable campaigns organised by Indian Muslims between 1877 and 1912, before turning to the Balkan Wars. The foundering of the bond drive stemmed from problems on both the supply and demand side, namely, International Financial Control (IFC) in the Ottoman context, informational asymmetries, fears of Ottoman insolvency and an aversion by some to accepting interest. Nevertheless, Indian Muslim capital enjoyed a freer degree of circulation than in the post-Ottoman environment, where new powers sought to curtail or control it in an age of financial de-globalisation.

Full textAbstract:
Medical crowdfunding has become a popular choice worldwide for people with unaffordable health needs. In low-income and middle-income countries with limited social welfare arrangements and a high incidence of catastrophic health spending, the market for medical crowdfunding is booming. However, relevant research was conducted exclusively in North America and Europe; little is known about medical crowdfunding activities inother contexts. As a first step towards filling this knowledge gap, this study depicts the realities of medical crowdfunding in a middle-income country China through empirical investigation and ethical analysis. We examine 100 randomly selected medical campaigns from a major Chinese crowdfunding platform and analyse the relevance of the previously identified ethical concerns to the Chinese context. The empirical findings show that Chinese campaigns have low and uneven success rates, require legally the participation of charitable organisations and focus on financial distress and family values in appealing for donations. In addition, the ethical analysis suggests that medical crowdfunding in China shares several ethical concerns raised in developed countries such as the veracity of claims and privacy violation. More importantly, our research reveals the inadequacy of current evidence and the lack of indicators to evaluate ethical issues in practice. Additional research is needed to better understand this fundraising practice across different social and cultural contexts.

Full textAbstract:
In an article published in The Month in 1908 Charles Plater claimed that there were three pressing needs which had to be met if English Catholic social action were to develop fruitfully. He admitted that there was no shortage of charitable institutions, and a long English Catholic tradition of charitable work, but claimed that in the main Catholics were apathetic when it came to social work. The three needs were, firstly, a need for experts, both clerical and lay, who could produce a sound social literature. These experts would form a Catholic equivalent of the British Institute of Social Service, to command the best advice and to foster local initiatives; with its help, Catholics could join in such bodies as anti-sweating leagues, housing schemes, temperance campaigns, and so on, and be sure of their ground. Secondly, there was a need for organised social study in all Catholic educational establishments, and for more or less informal study circles, so that interested and informed laypeople would be produced. Thirdly, there was a need to organise working-men’s study clubs to enable working-class Catholics to hold their own against socialist colleagues and so to form labour leaders. As Plater was to stress time and time again, working-men could only be reached by working-men. They would, he claimed, welcome the sense of power gained by this training and the self-improvement effected by it.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractVoluntarism is typically understood as action taken by individuals who voluntarily join collectives or take action to contribute in some way to social welfare. Voluntaristic forms vary widely depending on social context; however, a theme in recent sociological work is the possible withering away of voluntary practices in the forms that have previously existed. In this article, the author considers how the legacy of radne akcije, the working campaigns once coordinated by the Yugoslav state, is used to frame recent episodes of voluntarism, including the efforts of volunteers during the 2014 floods in Serbia, and charitable donations via SMS. She argues that previous forms of voluntaristic praxis have been fundamentally transformed following a shift in the fiscal and social resources of the state. However, while novel forms of voluntaristic practice and organization reflect the state’s present neoliberal ethos, participants remain wedded to a rhetoric echoing the past socialist collective dynamic.

Metacognitive frameworks such as processing fluency often suggest people respond more favorably to simple and common language versus complex and technical language. It is easier for people to process information that is simple and nontechnical compared to complex information, therefore leading to more engagement with targets. In two studies covering 12 field samples (total n = 1,064,533), we establish and replicate this simpler-is-better phenomenon by demonstrating people engage more with nontechnical language when giving their time and attention (e.g., simple online language tends to receive more social engagements). However, people respond to complex language when giving their money (e.g., complex language within charitable giving campaigns and grant abstracts tend to receive more money). This evidence suggests people engage with the heuristic of complex language differently depending on a time or money target. These results underscore language as a lens into social and psychological processes and computational methods to measure text patterns at scale.

Full textAbstract:
This article seeks to expose incumbents' tendencies and strategies in using charitable alms (zakat) in regional elections in two areas. Strategies identified include determining binding regulations regarding the use of zakat money, as well as the positioning of persons considered loyal and strategic to incumbents within the leadership structures of zakat institutions. Meanwhile, incumbents worked to integrate and interconnect government programmes with local zakat distribution agencies and attracting public sympathies through the sharing of zakat funds. Incumbents benefit from their power and legitimacy, and can thus easily use zakat funds as an economic resource for gathering the support of zakat recipients (mustahiq[1]). With their power and legitimacy, incumbents are able to claim credit and thus enjoy greater popularity in their re-election campaigns. This power and legitimacy, as well as its benefits, are managed strategically and intelligently to avoid giving the impression of illegality and ease social acceptance. The findings of this research are opposite to those of Samantha May; where May has found that state dominance and control of zakat has met widespread resistance, this research has found that state dominance and control of zakat has not only been well-received by society, but has also had implications for politicians' role in zakat management and distribution. This research, conducted through observation and interviews with zakat distributors/recipients, indicates how clientelism is formed through the government zakat distribution agency (Badan Amil Zakat, 'Zakat Distribution Agency'), the structural/instrumental approaches used by incumbents, and the response of zakat recipients. This article takes two elections in two regions as case studies: Kulon Progo in the 2017 regional election and Magelang Regency in the 2013 regional election.

The aim of this study is to define the semiotic and linguistic components of social advertising, the objective of which is to raise awareness in western populations. To this end, we compare the procedures used in social and commercial posters, and highlight the importance of environmental issues in recent years, in which defending nature or commending natural concerns are more and more commonplace. Using a contrastive analysis of two campaigns by a French charitable organisation, France Nature Environnement (FNE), in 2011 and 2016, we reflect on the specific discursive strategies employed to seduce message receivers and demonstrate that both campaigns, the first through the use of irony and the second though the auguring of a better world, convince people of the need for sustainable development. En este trabajo, determinamos los parámetros semio-lingüísticos de las publicidades sociales que tienen como objetivo la concienciación de las poblaciones occidentales en la actualidad. Para ello, comparamos los procedimientos utilizados en los carteles sociales y comerciales, y ponemos de relieve la importancia de la cuestión medioambiental en estos últimos años, razón por la cual los objetos publicitarios defendiendo la naturaleza o preconizando lo natural resultan ser cada vez más frecuentes. En concreto, a partir del análisis contrastivo de dos campañas de la asociación francesa France Nature Environnement (FNE) de 2011 y 2016, revelamos pues las estrategias discursivas concretas empleadas para seducir a los receptores de nuestras sociedades contemporáneas y evidenciamos que tanto la campaña de 2011 basada en la ironía como la de 2016 presagiando un mundo mejor consiguen persuadir a los individuos de la importancia de un planeta sostenible.

SummarySubject and purpose of work: The aim of the paper is to identify non-economic factors influencing employment in non-governmental organizations in the Subcarpathian Province.Materials and methods: Surveys were conducted in a group of 30 people managing non-governmental organizations.Results: In the Subcarpathian Province, the factors not connected to economy that encourage involvement in the work of non-governmental organisations include education, marital status, labour market activity, gender, religiousness, and moral authority associated with charitable activities. The factors such as age, personal experience of difficult life situations, or observing charity activities done by family members and friends have an insignificant effect on the involvement in the work of nongovernmental entities.Conclusions: The activities of state institutions of social policy whose goal is to increase the participation of citizens in the third sector entities should aim to give them an opportunity of obtaining the highest level of education possible, stable employment in the labour market, as well as creating conditions for families to function properly. Moreover, public institutions should conduct social campaigns to show citizens that working in the third sector enriches their social and personal life.

Lewis (2003) identifies three strategies of legitimation used by New Religions: rationality-tradition-charisma. Using the case of Jediism and the uk Censuses of 2001 and 2011, this article refutes the argument that the invented-ness, or self-conscious creation, of some New Religious Movements prevents their strategic reference to tradition for legitimation. Instead, this article explores a more contemporary understanding of tradition that takes into account how it can work online. Virtual ethnographic methods are used to examine the e-mail campaigns prior to the Censuses, as well as subsequent discussions about Jediism on Twitter and forum boards. This research shows how social media provides new sources of “tradition” that individuals and groups can reference to “prove” that Jediism is a really real religion. More formal, external, mechanisms of legitimation such as the uk and usa tax laws, charitable status and the uk Racial and Religious Hatred Act are explored as providers of “tradition” and authority – even when it is shown that they are negatively commenting on Jediism’s status as a legitimate religion. The “snowball” -like accumulation of legitimacy through interactions between informal and formal mechanisms shows that tradition is still referred to, even by “Invented Religions”.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test the extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to investigate money donation intentions and behaviour. Furthermore, the applicability of an extended TPB model is tested for the first time in a collectivist culture. Design/methodology/approach – The data have been collected from 221 people living in the city of Kuala Lampur through a questionnaire based on extended TPB model. The data have been analysed through employing structural equation modelling (SEM) procedures to extract meaningful conclusions. Findings – The results depict an excellent fit to the extended TPB model. The past behaviour, injunctive norms, and intentions to donate positively contribute towards actual behaviour to donate money. Attitude, self-reported behaviour, descriptive norms, and moral norms do not significantly contribute to intentions to donate money. Practical implications – Managers of charitable organisations are struggling to attract customers who can actively donate money in response to various fundraising campaigns. This study will provide some useful strategies to help managers in attracting and retaining customers for life. Originality/value – Research studies performed to investigate money donation intentions and behaviour are scarce where current research fills this knowledge gap by presenting a developing country perspective. In addition to that, extended TPB model to investigate money donation intentions and behaviour has never been refuted through SEM procedures.

Full textAbstract:
World War I significantly impacted U.S. society and politics long before the United States officially entered into the war's frontlines in 1917. Even as historians have begun to pay closer attention to this process, they have until now largely failed to notice a particular group of colorful and highly emblematic public elite actors: charitable foundation philanthropists. With the soon-to-be globally active Rockefeller Foundation a cohort of ambitious U.S. progressives and social engineers—later ardent supporters of global science funding during the interwar years and beyond—utilized their war experiences to shape the wartime philanthropic agenda. This article focuses on the Foundation officers’ profiles and the beginnings of their more concerted engagements during World War I in order to show how, in their mindsets and tactics, Rockefeller philanthropists disregarded American neutrality. From the outbreak of the war in 1914, they mobilized themselves to the point of pleading for and entering into direct commitments at home and abroad, especially in the European war zone. With the official entry of the United States into war in early April 1917, Rockefeller officials and collaborators became openly “combat” philanthropists, resolutely assisting the moral stabilization efforts of the U.S. military and conducting support campaigns to bolster, most notably, the American alliance with France. The incubation and infancy period of Rockefeller philanthropy as a subsequently ubiquitous phenomenon of the American twentieth century is inseparable from the impact of the Great War.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Although dementia is a global public health concern, there remains a large variability in public awareness of the condition and associated medications (1,2). Google Trends, a publicly available online resource, acts as a useful tool in the analysis of internet search activity and population behaviour, with applications across field of healthcare. It has not been used to date to investigate information needs in relation to dementia and dementia medications. Aim To investigate public information needs regarding dementia and dementia medications, by evaluating data from Google Trends and Google. Methods Google Trends was queried using search terms relating to dementia and dementia medications, for the five-year period to January 2020 and the 12-month period to January 2020, for United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland domains. The “top related queries” for each search term were extracted and recorded, and thematic analysis undertaken. The top ten Google search results for each search term were recorded, and assigned a rank based on their page position, from 1 (first search result, highest rank) to 10 (lowest rank); count (the number of times the website domain appeared near the top of the search results) and average rank (i.e. ordinal position) were calculated for each domain. Google Trends was also queried using the term “dementia” for the UK domain, from 2004 to February 2020, and Loess Seasonal Trend Decomposition undertaken using R software to determine seasonality patterns in internet searching. Results Thematic analysis highlighted that the public sought information on dementia types, causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, care and charitable organisations. Themes were broadly similar across time periods and UK/Ireland domains, with minor differences observed, including increased interest in research and development in 12-month UK data, and greater interest in charitable/government support in Ireland. The public sought information on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, their indications, doses, formulations, side effects, antipsychotic use for agitation, information sources for dementia medications, and medications for co-morbidities. Analysis of search results, count and average rank revealed that the public were often directed to high-quality evidence-based websites for condition and medication-related search terms, though some less reliable information sources also featured. Seasonal variation was observed; a modest swing in interest was exhibited over the year, peaking in May (correlating with Dementia Action Week) and falling to its lowest level in August. Overall a steady increase in search interest for “dementia’” over time was observed. Conclusion The public sought basic information about these subjects, and were often, but not always, directed to high-quality evidence-based websites. Public awareness of, and interest in, dementia is increasing, and future public health campaigns should seek to build on the success of previous campaigns. The strength of this study lies in the use of Google Trends and Google to investigate information needs in relation to dementia and dementia medications; to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to do so. Limitations must be considered; it can be difficult to draw absolute conclusions from Google Trends data alone, and results should be interpreted with caution. References 1.

Full textAbstract:
The current market scenario is capricious, which makes it difficult to predict the buying intention of the customers. Even marketing practitioners are also facing difficulty in differentiating their products and services from others in an increasingly challenging business environment. This dynamism of market place generates the need for new practices. To compete with this unpredictable environment, cause-related marketing has emerged as a booming planned promotional means to satisfy the societal and ethical urge of the community. Cause-related marketing is a promotional movement of an organization wherein the charitable and communal cause is certified for brand marketing, in association with its products and services as a package. This paper is an attempt to design effective cause-related marketing strategies to compete in an uncertain environment. The analysis using statistical procedures of SPSS version 20 is done based on data of 178 consumers. Prospecting factors are identified with the help of factor analysis, which is further signified with the help of a t-test. Among those significant factors, the most prominent factor impacting buying intention is identified through hierarchical regression. The findings of this study will provide a strong base to the marketers in making decisions while designing their cause-related marketing stratagems to make cause-related marketing campaigns more operative and successful. The study concludes that management should concentrate on social cause while being concerned with the company’s bottom line. The author also put forward the research directions intended to facilitate scholars to further progress the assimilation of premeditated promotion and cause related marketing.

We designed a field experiment to test the direction of the impact of informational frame on charitable pledges. We solicited charitable pledges from 395 students during a campaign aimed at helping students through students at the School of Economics, Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU), Islamabad. The participants are randomly divided into 5 different treatments. In the Pledge Disclosed (PD) treatment, we provided information to students about the average size of pledge we received from participants in the Baseline (BL) treatment. Similarly, in the Need Disclosed (ND) treatment, we provided information about the total need of those who asked for assistantship. In the Pledge & Need Disclosed (P&ND) treatment, we informed the students about both the need as well as the pledge made by the students to meet that need. In All Disclosed (AD) treatment, we provided details about the need, pledges, the previous history of the project, and the pledge by Charity Australia International. The findings show that relative to BL treatment, charitable pledges decreased when participants were informed about the previous pledges and the total required need. However, charitable pledge increased when full information was provided to the participants.

We proposed that a moderator, others' similarity, would determine the impact of high participation rates of others on an individual's charitable behavior, and aimed to show that this moderator would work through the diffusion of responsibility motive. Participants (N = 152 undergraduate students) completed measures of charitable behavior and diffusion of responsibility, after being assigned to 1 of 2 conditions where a set percentage of other students (manipulated as either similar undergraduate students or dissimilar graduate students) were stated to have already donated to a charitable campaign (high contribution condition = 70% participation, low contribution condition = 30% participation). Our results showed that the high participation rate of others increased an individual's charitable behavior when the others in question were similar to that individual, but not when the others were dissimilar. In addition, the high rate of participation by others increased the diffusion of responsibility motive when the others in question were dissimilar to that individual, leading to a negative effect on that individual's charitable behavior.

AbstractFrom the early twentieth century, Hindu socio-religious and political bodies debated the use thatmaths(monastic establishments) made of their wealth, amassed in large part throughdana(socio religious gifts). From the early nineteenth century, Anglo Hindu law on inheritance, and thereafter the Religious and Charitable Endowments Acts, had enabled the autonomy ofmathsby classifying them as private religious corporations, not charitable endowments. This article suggests that themathreform campaign between 1920 and 1940 in north India was impelled by the preoccupations of heterogeneous Hindu political and socio-religious organizations withdanaand its potential to fund cultural and political projects regenerating an imagined Hindu socio-religious community. Specifically, the Hindu Mahasabha yokeddanato its Hindusangathan(unity) campaign to strategically craft an integrated ‘Hindu public’ transcendingsampraday(religious traditions) to protect its interests from ‘external enemies’. My discussion probes how the Hindu Mahasabha and its ‘reformist’ allies urged the conversion ofmathsinto public charitable trusts, or endowments accountable to an ephemeral ‘Hindu public’ and the regulation of their expenditure. Monastic orders,guru-based associations like the Bharat Dharma Mahamandala, and the majority of orthodox Hindus successfully opposed this campaign, defending the interests ofmathsandsampradaybefore and after independence. In so doing, they challenged Hindusangathanby articulating alternative visions of the socio-religious publics and communities to be revitalized through philanthropy. Through this discussion, the article charts the uneasy relationship between monasticism and an emerging Hindu nationalist cultural and political consciousness that remained fractured and internally contested.

AbstractSome of the challenges in Sanders et al. (2018, this issue) can be aptly illustrated by means of charity nudges; that is, nudges designed to increase charitable donations. These nudges raise many ethical questions. First, Oxfam's triptychs with suggested donations are designed to increase giving. If successful, do our actions match ex ante or ex post preferences? Does this make a difference to the autonomy of the donor? Second, the Behavioural Insights Team conducted experiments using social networks to nudge people to give more. Do these appeals steer clear of exploiting power relations? Do they respect boundaries of privacy? Third, in an online campaign by Kiva, donors are asked to contribute directly to personalised initiatives. In many cases, the initiative has already been funded and donor money is funnelled to a new cause. Is such a ‘pre-disbursal’ arrangement truthful and true to purpose as a social business model?

Full textAbstract:
Research has shown that extrinsic incentives can crowd out intrinsic motivation in many contexts. Despite this, many nonprofits offer conditional thank-you gifts, such as mugs or tote bags, in exchange for donations. In collaboration with a nonprofit, this study implements a direct mail field experiment and demonstrates that thank-you gifts reduced donation rates in a fundraising campaign. Attention-based multiattribute choice models suggest that this is because prospective donors shift attention to the salient gift offer, causing them to underweight less salient intrinsic motives. Attention to the gift may also cause individuals to adopt a more cost–benefit mindset, further de-emphasizing intrinsic motives. Consistent with these hypotheses, crowding out was driven by those who donated higher amounts in the previous year (i.e., those who likely had higher intrinsic motivation). In a complementary online experiment, thank-you gifts also reduced donation rates but only when the gift was visually salient. This corroborates the mediating role of attention in crowding out. Taken together, the laboratory and field results demonstrate that this fundraising technique can be demotivating in some contexts and that this may occur through an attention-based mechanism.

Introduction. Nowadays, patriotic education is a strategic reference point of the Russian education system. However, in the modern sociocultural situation, characterised by diversity, discrepancy, multi-vector nature of development of society and polystylicity of culture, it is necessary to revise the forms of patriotic education in order to adjust them in accordance with the requirements and mental features of new young generation – so-called generation Z, which is considerably different from the previous generation of peers.The aims of the researchwere the following: to identify promising areas and vectors of patriotic education, to demonstrate its resources and to highlight the most relevant means and possibilities, which are appropriate to present-day realities.Methodology and research methods. The work was based on the method of discursive analysis, which allows the dependence of patriotic education practices on modern realities and socio-psychological characteristics of adolescents and youth to be revealed. In the course of the research, the methods of comparative analysis, systematisation and classification were employed. Results and scientific novelty. The conceptual and category-based framework of patriotic education and its structure are specified. Patriotism is considered as the most important component of the value-normative system of a personality. Patriotism is based on a positive cultural identity. Patriotism is distinguished by an active character-readiness and ability of a person to transform his or her feelings towards homeland into deeds and acts, which are necessary for the good of the country. The analysis of practices of patriotic education in different countries allowed the authors to allocate two basic directions – civil-patriotic and military-patriotic education, which act as the complementary components of integral system. Civil-patriotic education is a purposeful, consciously carried out pedagogical process of organisation and management of learners’ activities for mastering socio-cultural, socio-political, economic, moral and ethical experience of democratic relations through media education and participation in socially approved projects, civil-law campaigns and charitable events, which foster tolerance for various categories of fellow citizens. Military-patriotic education implies the formation of necessary qualities and skills for performance of a military duty in ranks of the Russian Federation’s Armed Forces and, furthermore, for understanding and awareness of the personal role and place in service to the Fatherland. This direction involves education towards military traditions, museum pedagogics, participation in historical reconstructions and specially designed computer games related to military-patriotic issues.The list of educational practices, outlined in the present publication, does not purport to be complete and exhaustive. The task of authors consisted in the search for and choice of those, which, on the one hand, fill an ideological construct “patriotism” with live contents, attract teenagers and youth, and, on the other hand, answer the requests of society for education of a socially responsible personality with sustainable value system. Practical significanceof the research is determined by the appropriateness and efficiency of applying the described forms and methods of educational work into teaching practice.

By 1850, a major shift in how Europeans participated in the Christian religion was well underway. On Sundays, most members of a church's or chapel's congregation were women. Women received communion more assiduously than their male counterparts. Catholic religious congregations for women were founded and joined at rates well above those for men. In Protestant lands, women became deaconesses. From Italy to Scotland, women contributed greatly to churches' social and charitable missions through their active involvement in voluntary associations and parish committees. Moreover, mothers now had the primary obligation to nourish religious sentiments in the home. Even the representation of angels had changed, the powerful, free masculine figure replaced by one who was restrained, domesticated, and feminine.

Full textAbstract:
The famine of 1891-1892, known in the modern Russian historiography as the ‘all-Russian ruin’ of early 1890s, on the one hand, revealed the shortcomings of the state food policy, the carelessness of the gubernia authorities and local self-government bodies, the imperfection of principles underlying the food system, and on the other hand, caused an unprecedented rise of social forces, which translated into unprecedented activity of the Russian charity. At the head of all the charitable assistance was the Special Committee, chaired by the Heir Tsesarevich. Its purpose was to create conditions for unity of action of all charitable institutions. In the various gubernias most affected by the crops failure, the Committee consistently provided assistance: purchased food, funded seeding of the fields, fodder, handicrafts and public works, assistance to burned-out peasants, and medical assistance. In these spending activities, private parties from nobility took an active part; their active participation in the assistance to the famine victims provided a significant support to the government combating the consequences of the crop failure and the famine of 1891-1892. Free public canteens (stolovayas) were organized everywhere, home industry was organized for women and children. Public need rallied both nobility and peasants in a common struggle against the famine. But afterward, hopes for class unity were disappointed. This was largely due to the Russian peasant mentality with its belief in a free ‘tsar’s ration’ and landlords’ duty to feed them. Generally speaking, the Special Committee achieved its goal. The food campaign of 1891-1892 became a people's struggle with want and famine.
