Bank of America and SAS develop innovative approaches in corporate philanthropy
By Paige Holland Hamp
November 18, 2004
RALEIGH — We are fortunate to live in a state that has a rich philanthropic history. Perhaps it is because we are in “God’s country” and are taught as youngsters to share with those less fortunate or it could be that North Carolina knows corporate philanthropy is just good business. For years companies have provided funding, volunteers, and in-kind resources to support education, health care, and a myriad of other causes with varied levels of effectiveness.
Today, corporate philanthropy is a critical part of North Carolina’s success in meeting the needs of millions of citizens and a few companies are taking bold new directions in their philanthropic efforts. Two leaders in North Carolina are Bank of America, headquartered in Charlotte, and SAS, based in Cary.

Arts organisations such as the Royal Opera House and Glyndebourne could have their charitable status removed under proposed legislation that will monitor the public benefit provided by companies charging high ticket prices.
Speaking at a recent National Campaign for the Arts seminar on the draft charities bill, published in May, Home Office official Richard Weatherill told delegates that in future, applicants will be asked to prove how their organisation provides a public service before being granted charitable status. In addition, existing charities will be subject to regular checks on their fee-charging practices to ensure that they continue to operate for the public good and not for private advantage. "

The days of semi-regulated donor advised funds (DAF) might be numbered as the U.S. Senate Finance Committee looks to clamp down on a sector that has had abuse allegations.
Yet, among the largest DAFs, there already appears to be acceptance of some of the committee�s propositions. �Reforming donor advised funds is a large philanthropic issue,� said Benjamin Pierce, executive director of the Malvern, Pa.-based Vanguard Charitable Endowment Fund. With DAFs becoming so successful and with little regulation, it is an area ripe for abuse.
Some regulations on DAFs might come as soon as this fall, with more sweeping change likely in 2005, according to Jill Gerber, spokeswoman for the Senate Finance Committee."

Over the eons, as man transcended from survival level subsistence to varying degrees of surplus, charitable works took on new dimensions. Aristotle said, 'To give money away is an easy matter, and in any man's power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man's power -- nor an easy matter. Hence it is that excellence is rare, praiseworthy and noble.'
Economists and social scientists have long pondered the motivations behind philanthropy. Why would a person work hard to create wealth, only to give it away? Religion is one answer.
