There are wide gender gaps in education in the U.S. and across the economically advanced nations, as I describe in my new book \u202fOf Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It\u202f (Brookings Institution Press, 2022).<\/p>
But how does the gender gap in educational outcomes vary across the U.S.? That\u2019s the question addressed in this note and accompanying interactives.<\/p>
In every\u00a0U.S.\u00a0state, young women are more likely\u00a0than their male counterparts\u00a0to have a\u00a0bachelor\u2019s\u00a0degree.\u00a0The education gender gap\u00a0emerges\u00a0well\u00a0before\u00a0college, however:\u00a0girls are\u00a0more likely to graduate high school on time\u00a0and perform\u00a0substantially\u00a0better on standardized\u00a0reading\u00a0tests than boys\u00a0(and about as well in math).\u00a0In this piece, we dive into how these gaps differ \u2014\u00a0or\u00a0stay the same \u2014\u00a0across the\u00a0U.S.<\/p>
Girls Getting Degrees<\/strong>\nIn 1970,\u00a0just\u00a012 percent\u00a0of young women\u00a0(ages 25 to 34)\u00a0had a bachelor\u2019s degree,\u00a0compared to 20\u00a0percent of\u00a0men\u00a0\u2014\u00a0a gap of\u00a0eight\u00a0\u00a0percentage points.\u00a0By 2020,\u00a0that number had risen to\u00a041 percent\u00a0for\u00a0women\u00a0but only\u00a0to\u00a032 percent\u00a0for men\u00a0\u2014 a nine\u00a0percentage\u2013point gap,\u00a0now going the other way.\u00a0That means there are\u00a0currently\u00a01.6 million more\u00a0young women with a bachelor\u2019s degree than men.\u00a0To put it into\u00a0perspective,\u00a0that\u2019s just less than the\u00a0population of West Virginia.<\/p>The U.S. made great strides in improving\u00a0overall\u00a0educational attainment\u00a0in\u00a0the last fifty years, but\u00a0progress has been uneven\u00a0across\u00a0states\u00a0and\u00a0by gender.\u00a0We\u00a0show\u00a0here\u00a0the share of those ages 25 to 34 with a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher\u00a0by state\u00a0using the American Community Survey.\u00a0Figure\u00a01\u00a0shows the share\u00a0of\u00a0young adults\u00a0with\u00a0a bachelor\u2019s degree\u00a0or higher\u00a0in every U.S. state, by sex.<\/p>Both the gender gap and total educational attainment vary across the states. Young adults in Mississippi, for instance, are less likely to have a bachelor\u2019s than young adults in any other state. The share of Mississippi young men with a bachelor\u2019s degree in 2020 was just 18 percent \u2014 two points lower than the U.S. male share in 1970. By contrast, about half of men (49 percent) had a bachelor\u2019s degree in Massachusetts, which is higher than the share of women with a bachelor\u2019s degree in all but three states.<\/p>Although there are many more college grads in Massachusetts than in Mississippi, in both states young women are about ten percentage points more likely to have a bachelor\u2019s than their male peers (the length of the gray bars). To account for the wide variation in overall attainment rates, we also show the ratio of women to men with a bachelor\u2019s degree (just hover over a state to see this number). For example, Mississippi\u2019s young women are 52 percent more likely than men to have a bachelor\u2019s, and Massachusetts\u2019 young women are 19 percent more likely.<\/p>Read the full article about gender gaps in education by Richard V.

Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts.

The U.S. made great strides in improving\u00a0overall\u00a0educational attainment\u00a0in\u00a0the last fifty years, but\u00a0progress has been uneven\u00a0across\u00a0states\u00a0and\u00a0by gender.\u00a0We\u00a0show\u00a0here\u00a0the share of those ages 25 to 34 with a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher\u00a0by state\u00a0using the American Community Survey.\u00a0Figure\u00a01\u00a0shows the share\u00a0of\u00a0young adults\u00a0with\u00a0a bachelor\u2019s degree\u00a0or higher\u00a0in every U.S. state, by sex.<\/p>
Both the gender gap and total educational attainment vary across the states. Young adults in Mississippi, for instance, are less likely to have a bachelor\u2019s than young adults in any other state. The share of Mississippi young men with a bachelor\u2019s degree in 2020 was just 18 percent \u2014 two points lower than the U.S. male share in 1970. By contrast, about half of men (49 percent) had a bachelor\u2019s degree in Massachusetts, which is higher than the share of women with a bachelor\u2019s degree in all but three states.<\/p>
Although there are many more college grads in Massachusetts than in Mississippi, in both states young women are about ten percentage points more likely to have a bachelor\u2019s than their male peers (the length of the gray bars). To account for the wide variation in overall attainment rates, we also show the ratio of women to men with a bachelor\u2019s degree (just hover over a state to see this number). For example, Mississippi\u2019s young women are 52 percent more likely than men to have a bachelor\u2019s, and Massachusetts\u2019 young women are 19 percent more likely.<\/p>

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts. Together, our community is building an equitable ecosystem of impact which offers a low-barrier of entry for any nonprofit into the world of crypto philanthropy.\u00a0Please consider these next steps for using crypto for social good:Join\u00a0Endaoment\u2019s community to learn more and interact with other donors and nonprofits in our ecosystemOpen a\u00a0donor-advised fund (DAF)With a crypto wallet,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cdeploy\u201d (or onboard) your favorite nonprofit onto the Endaoment platformEmail donors@endaoment.org with questions*Note: Endaoment does not give tax advice. Please consult a tax professional when determining how a gift of crypto could affect your taxes.","html_content":"A new model of giving, dubbed \u201ccrypto philanthropy\u201d by the burgeoning <\/span>web3<\/span><\/a> movement, is changing the way donors fund nonprofit work focused on their favorite causes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Crypto philanthropy is setting a new precedent in the efficiency and transparency of charitable donations, but the most significant hurdle continues to be a gap in education, both among nonprofits and potential donors.

Throughout history, competitions have produced innovative ideas, creative solutions, and even new industries. In 1795, for example, Napoleon Bonaparte launched the Food Preservation Prize seeking a safe way to store food. Nicolas Francois Appert eventually won the prize (12,000 francs, equivalent to about $36,000 today) for his solution, which sealed boiled food in airtight champagne bottles. And in 1927, after crossing the Atlantic Ocean in one flight, Charles Lindbergh won the $25,000 Orteig Prize, originally launched in 1919 as \u201ca stimulus to courageous aviators.\u201d<\/span><\/p>Today, competitions of some shape or form are hard to miss, having grown dramatically in number, scope, and prize amount.

Some seek to improve conditions for the public, while others benefit from more private gains, such as increasing their network or knowledge.<\/span><\/li>Some reservations remain about competitions, including their perceived risk, criticisms of their lack of equity, and questions around<\/span> effectiveness and their returns on investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>The study also found gaps in the landscape, most notably a significant lack of evaluation after the prize is awarded. Filling this evaluation gap could help us learn more about how much impact they deliver and for whom, making for a more informed debate and potentially leading to more effective competitions.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>In the meantime, there are many important lessons we can learn from today\u2019s successful prizes and competitions. Here are a few:<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>Learn from others. <\/b>Seek out similar competitions. If the prize is large, consider working with an organization that has run prizes similar to the one you are designing. Engage with other funders early. They can help recruit applicants and provide expertise and even additional funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Build equity into the process. <\/b>At their best, competitions help donors break out of their bubbles and consider more than the usual grantees, without a reliance on pre-existing social connections. Budget enough to recruit a wide range of participants to avoid \u201cthe Matthew Effect\u201d (to those that have, more shall be given).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Make eligibility criteria widely available and easy to follow. <\/b>Be honest about the chances of funding and match the complexity of the application to the award size. Before you launch, check the criteria with as many people as you can. Are the criteria clear? Do people of different backgrounds in the applicant pool, judging panel, and target audience understand them in the same way? Are they complete, or might they exclude something wonderful?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Decide how you intend to manage the relationships with participants after the award is announced. <\/b>Do you want them to report back on their projects? Will you set milestones tied to a gradual payout? Will you request an evaluation of the projects?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Plan to share information<\/b>. Publishing the information and proposals gathered in the process benefits the prize participants who are not funded initially (because they may come to the attention of other funders) and can provide insights for others working on the issue that is being addressed.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/li><\/ol>History is rife with examples of competitions. They are not new, but competitions can break new ground and open doors to new networks and new ideas. We can and should learn from today\u2019s many competitions and ensure that all participants benefit from the process thereby producing many \u201cwinners.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","excerpt":"Throughout history, competitions have produced innovative ideas, creative solutions, and even new industries.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>According to Fidelity<\/span><\/a>, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. <\/span>Endaoment<\/span><\/a>, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.<\/span><\/p>Just like a traditional <\/span>community foundation<\/span><\/a>, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The <\/span>Endaoment web app<\/span><\/a> accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span>. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.<\/span><\/p>Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), <\/span>community funds<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>directly<\/span><\/a> to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.<\/span><\/p>Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit <\/span>Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.<\/span><\/p>This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits.

And we examined additional documents and conducted interviews to gauge how the nation\u2019s 100 largest districts plan to reinforce their teaching ranks with the American Rescue Plan\u2019s Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief fund (ESSER III).<\/p>The result is a comprehensive picture of state and local spending on the nation\u2019s more than 3 million-member teaching force \u2014 including new hires, innovative ways to leverage top teachers, an emerging commitment to extra pay for longer hours and bonuses that break with traditional pay schedules to combat staff shortages. The challenges presented by the scale of the federal funding and the short window for spending it also emerged from the analysis.<\/p>We found seven significant spending trends.<\/p>Expanded Staff<\/strong><\/li>Smaller Classes<\/strong><\/li> Recruitment<\/strong><\/li>Staff Retention<\/strong><\/li> Increased Workloads<\/strong><\/li>
Today, competitions of some shape or form are hard to miss, having grown dramatically in number, scope, and prize amount. In the first half of 2021 alone, high-profile individuals and organizations announced well over $100 million in philanthropic competitions aimed at big societal issues, including:<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p> \u00a0Elon Musk\u2019s $100 Million Prize for Carbon Removal;<\/span><\/li>The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge\u2019s Earthshot Prize,<\/span> which began recruiting in early 2021 and will award five \u00a31 million prizes per year over 10 years;<\/span><\/li>Google.org\u2019s $25 million Impact Challenge<\/span> for Women and Girls; and<\/span><\/li>The $22 million Stronger Democracy Award,<\/span> announced by Lever for Change and ICONIQ Impact.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/li><\/ul>Indeed, competitions are more popular than ever even as debate around their long-term impact continues. Understanding who sponsors them, how they manage them, and toward what goals may help explain their resilience and their potential future.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>To that end, Lever for Change commissioned a study to better understand the broad and diverse landscape of prizes and competitions. The <\/span>study<\/span><\/a>, researched and written by <\/span>Yoon-Chan Kim<\/span><\/a>, identified more than 580 prizes and competitions from the past 50 years, did a deep analysis of more than 160 prizes and competitions from 2020, and included interviews with more than 50 donors, senior executives, government officials, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, and academic scholars. An <\/span>executive summary<\/span><\/a> of the study highlights the key insights, which include:<\/span><\/p>The number of application-based prizes and competitions jumped from 36 in the period from 2005-2009 to almost 600 from 2015-2020.<\/span><\/li>Prizes and competitions share common themes and priorities and tend to look for \u201cimpact\u201d and \u201cinnovation.\u201d<\/span><\/li>Sponsors have different motivations for launching competitions, and their definitions of success vary. Some seek to improve conditions for the public, while others benefit from more private gains, such as increasing their network or knowledge.<\/span><\/li>Some reservations remain about competitions, including their perceived risk, criticisms of their lack of equity, and questions around<\/span> effectiveness and their returns on investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>The study also found gaps in the landscape, most notably a significant lack of evaluation after the prize is awarded. Filling this evaluation gap could help us learn more about how much impact they deliver and for whom, making for a more informed debate and potentially leading to more effective competitions.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>In the meantime, there are many important lessons we can learn from today\u2019s successful prizes and competitions. Here are a few:<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>Learn from others. <\/b>Seek out similar competitions. If the prize is large, consider working with an organization that has run prizes similar to the one you are designing. Engage with other funders early. They can help recruit applicants and provide expertise and even additional funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Build equity into the process. <\/b>At their best, competitions help donors break out of their bubbles and consider more than the usual grantees, without a reliance on pre-existing social connections. Budget enough to recruit a wide range of participants to avoid \u201cthe Matthew Effect\u201d (to those that have, more shall be given).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Make eligibility criteria widely available and easy to follow. <\/b>Be honest about the chances of funding and match the complexity of the application to the award size. Before you launch, check the criteria with as many people as you can. Are the criteria clear? Do people of different backgrounds in the applicant pool, judging panel, and target audience understand them in the same way? Are they complete, or might they exclude something wonderful?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Decide how you intend to manage the relationships with participants after the award is announced. <\/b>Do you want them to report back on their projects? Will you set milestones tied to a gradual payout? Will you request an evaluation of the projects?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Plan to share information<\/b>. Publishing the information and proposals gathered in the process benefits the prize participants who are not funded initially (because they may come to the attention of other funders) and can provide insights for others working on the issue that is being addressed.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/li><\/ol>History is rife with examples of competitions. They are not new, but competitions can break new ground and open doors to new networks and new ideas. We can and should learn from today\u2019s many competitions and ensure that all participants benefit from the process thereby producing many \u201cwinners.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","excerpt":"Throughout history, competitions have produced innovative ideas, creative solutions, and even new industries.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts. Together, our community is building an equitable ecosystem of impact which offers a low-barrier of entry for any nonprofit into the world of crypto philanthropy.\u00a0Please consider these next steps for using crypto for social good:Join\u00a0Endaoment\u2019s community to learn more and interact with other donors and nonprofits in our ecosystemOpen a\u00a0donor-advised fund (DAF)With a crypto wallet,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cdeploy\u201d (or onboard) your favorite nonprofit onto the Endaoment platformEmail donors@endaoment.org with questions*Note: Endaoment does not give tax advice.

Indeed, competitions are more popular than ever even as debate around their long-term impact continues. Understanding who sponsors them, how they manage them, and toward what goals may help explain their resilience and their potential future.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>To that end, Lever for Change commissioned a study to better understand the broad and diverse landscape of prizes and competitions. The <\/span>study<\/span><\/a>, researched and written by <\/span>Yoon-Chan Kim<\/span><\/a>, identified more than 580 prizes and competitions from the past 50 years, did a deep analysis of more than 160 prizes and competitions from 2020, and included interviews with more than 50 donors, senior executives, government officials, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, and academic scholars. An <\/span>executive summary<\/span><\/a> of the study highlights the key insights, which include:<\/span><\/p>The number of application-based prizes and competitions jumped from 36 in the period from 2005-2009 to almost 600 from 2015-2020.<\/span><\/li>Prizes and competitions share common themes and priorities and tend to look for \u201cimpact\u201d and \u201cinnovation.\u201d<\/span><\/li>Sponsors have different motivations for launching competitions, and their definitions of success vary. Some seek to improve conditions for the public, while others benefit from more private gains, such as increasing their network or knowledge.<\/span><\/li>Some reservations remain about competitions, including their perceived risk, criticisms of their lack of equity, and questions around<\/span> effectiveness and their returns on investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>The study also found gaps in the landscape, most notably a significant lack of evaluation after the prize is awarded. Filling this evaluation gap could help us learn more about how much impact they deliver and for whom, making for a more informed debate and potentially leading to more effective competitions.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>In the meantime, there are many important lessons we can learn from today\u2019s successful prizes and competitions. Here are a few:<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>Learn from others. <\/b>Seek out similar competitions. If the prize is large, consider working with an organization that has run prizes similar to the one you are designing. Engage with other funders early. They can help recruit applicants and provide expertise and even additional funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Build equity into the process. <\/b>At their best, competitions help donors break out of their bubbles and consider more than the usual grantees, without a reliance on pre-existing social connections. Budget enough to recruit a wide range of participants to avoid \u201cthe Matthew Effect\u201d (to those that have, more shall be given).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Make eligibility criteria widely available and easy to follow. <\/b>Be honest about the chances of funding and match the complexity of the application to the award size. Before you launch, check the criteria with as many people as you can. Are the criteria clear? Do people of different backgrounds in the applicant pool, judging panel, and target audience understand them in the same way? Are they complete, or might they exclude something wonderful?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Decide how you intend to manage the relationships with participants after the award is announced. <\/b>Do you want them to report back on their projects? Will you set milestones tied to a gradual payout? Will you request an evaluation of the projects?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Plan to share information<\/b>. Publishing the information and proposals gathered in the process benefits the prize participants who are not funded initially (because they may come to the attention of other funders) and can provide insights for others working on the issue that is being addressed.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/li><\/ol>History is rife with examples of competitions. They are not new, but competitions can break new ground and open doors to new networks and new ideas. We can and should learn from today\u2019s many competitions and ensure that all participants benefit from the process thereby producing many \u201cwinners.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","excerpt":"Throughout history, competitions have produced innovative ideas, creative solutions, and even new industries.

As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women. By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter.

By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.<\/p>But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter. By 2000, women still hadn\u2019t achieved parity with men in enrollment at the higher-ranked schools, despite women being\u00a056.1% of college students\u00a0overall that year.<\/p>A fair amount of research exists on the law schools that were most welcoming to women, according to Elizabeth Katz, an associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the paper\u2019s authors. But that leaves a gap in context, she said.<\/p>\u201cFewer people want to study the law schools that have a bad record,\u201d said Katz. \u201cBut of course, that\u2019s a really important part of the story to understand as well.\u201d<\/p>Women in law professorships and dean positions lagged further behind, with their representation growing more slowly than that of students. Faculties experience lower turnover than student bodies and have far lower numbers anyway. With less movement, there\u2019s less room for change.<\/p>Read the full article about law schools' educator employment by Laura Spitalniak at Higher Education Dive.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"Law schools have increasingly sorted along gender lines, and the makeup of faculties has become a reflection of schools\u2019 student population, according to\u00a0preprint research\u00a0published on the SSRN, an open-access platform for early-stage research.

To that end, Lever for Change commissioned a study to better understand the broad and diverse landscape of prizes and competitions. The <\/span>study<\/span><\/a>, researched and written by <\/span>Yoon-Chan Kim<\/span><\/a>, identified more than 580 prizes and competitions from the past 50 years, did a deep analysis of more than 160 prizes and competitions from 2020, and included interviews with more than 50 donors, senior executives, government officials, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, and academic scholars. An <\/span>executive summary<\/span><\/a> of the study highlights the key insights, which include:<\/span><\/p>The number of application-based prizes and competitions jumped from 36 in the period from 2005-2009 to almost 600 from 2015-2020.<\/span><\/li>Prizes and competitions share common themes and priorities and tend to look for \u201cimpact\u201d and \u201cinnovation.\u201d<\/span><\/li>Sponsors have different motivations for launching competitions, and their definitions of success vary. Some seek to improve conditions for the public, while others benefit from more private gains, such as increasing their network or knowledge.<\/span><\/li>Some reservations remain about competitions, including their perceived risk, criticisms of their lack of equity, and questions around<\/span> effectiveness and their returns on investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>The study also found gaps in the landscape, most notably a significant lack of evaluation after the prize is awarded. Filling this evaluation gap could help us learn more about how much impact they deliver and for whom, making for a more informed debate and potentially leading to more effective competitions.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>In the meantime, there are many important lessons we can learn from today\u2019s successful prizes and competitions. Here are a few:<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>Learn from others. <\/b>Seek out similar competitions. If the prize is large, consider working with an organization that has run prizes similar to the one you are designing. Engage with other funders early. They can help recruit applicants and provide expertise and even additional funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Build equity into the process. <\/b>At their best, competitions help donors break out of their bubbles and consider more than the usual grantees, without a reliance on pre-existing social connections. Budget enough to recruit a wide range of participants to avoid \u201cthe Matthew Effect\u201d (to those that have, more shall be given).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Make eligibility criteria widely available and easy to follow. <\/b>Be honest about the chances of funding and match the complexity of the application to the award size. Before you launch, check the criteria with as many people as you can. Are the criteria clear? Do people of different backgrounds in the applicant pool, judging panel, and target audience understand them in the same way? Are they complete, or might they exclude something wonderful?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Decide how you intend to manage the relationships with participants after the award is announced. <\/b>Do you want them to report back on their projects? Will you set milestones tied to a gradual payout? Will you request an evaluation of the projects?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Plan to share information<\/b>. Publishing the information and proposals gathered in the process benefits the prize participants who are not funded initially (because they may come to the attention of other funders) and can provide insights for others working on the issue that is being addressed.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/li><\/ol>History is rife with examples of competitions. They are not new, but competitions can break new ground and open doors to new networks and new ideas. We can and should learn from today\u2019s many competitions and ensure that all participants benefit from the process thereby producing many \u201cwinners.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","excerpt":"Throughout history, competitions have produced innovative ideas, creative solutions, and even new industries.

Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article","html_content":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.<\/p>Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).<\/p>A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).<\/p>Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit).

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.<\/p>Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.<\/p>Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.<\/p>After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote.

The study also found gaps in the landscape, most notably a significant lack of evaluation after the prize is awarded. Filling this evaluation gap could help us learn more about how much impact they deliver and for whom, making for a more informed debate and potentially leading to more effective competitions.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>In the meantime, there are many important lessons we can learn from today\u2019s successful prizes and competitions. Here are a few:<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>Learn from others. <\/b>Seek out similar competitions. If the prize is large, consider working with an organization that has run prizes similar to the one you are designing. Engage with other funders early. They can help recruit applicants and provide expertise and even additional funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Build equity into the process. <\/b>At their best, competitions help donors break out of their bubbles and consider more than the usual grantees, without a reliance on pre-existing social connections. Budget enough to recruit a wide range of participants to avoid \u201cthe Matthew Effect\u201d (to those that have, more shall be given).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Make eligibility criteria widely available and easy to follow. <\/b>Be honest about the chances of funding and match the complexity of the application to the award size. Before you launch, check the criteria with as many people as you can. Are the criteria clear? Do people of different backgrounds in the applicant pool, judging panel, and target audience understand them in the same way? Are they complete, or might they exclude something wonderful?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Decide how you intend to manage the relationships with participants after the award is announced. <\/b>Do you want them to report back on their projects? Will you set milestones tied to a gradual payout? Will you request an evaluation of the projects?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Plan to share information<\/b>. Publishing the information and proposals gathered in the process benefits the prize participants who are not funded initially (because they may come to the attention of other funders) and can provide insights for others working on the issue that is being addressed.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/li><\/ol>History is rife with examples of competitions.

Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article","html_content":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.<\/p>Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).<\/p>A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).<\/p>Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit).

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.<\/p>Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.<\/p>Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.<\/p>After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote.

In the meantime, there are many important lessons we can learn from today\u2019s successful prizes and competitions. Here are a few:<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>Learn from others. <\/b>Seek out similar competitions. If the prize is large, consider working with an organization that has run prizes similar to the one you are designing. Engage with other funders early. They can help recruit applicants and provide expertise and even additional funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Build equity into the process. <\/b>At their best, competitions help donors break out of their bubbles and consider more than the usual grantees, without a reliance on pre-existing social connections. Budget enough to recruit a wide range of participants to avoid \u201cthe Matthew Effect\u201d (to those that have, more shall be given).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Make eligibility criteria widely available and easy to follow. <\/b>Be honest about the chances of funding and match the complexity of the application to the award size. Before you launch, check the criteria with as many people as you can. Are the criteria clear? Do people of different backgrounds in the applicant pool, judging panel, and target audience understand them in the same way? Are they complete, or might they exclude something wonderful?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Decide how you intend to manage the relationships with participants after the award is announced. <\/b>Do you want them to report back on their projects? Will you set milestones tied to a gradual payout? Will you request an evaluation of the projects?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>Plan to share information<\/b>. Publishing the information and proposals gathered in the process benefits the prize participants who are not funded initially (because they may come to the attention of other funders) and can provide insights for others working on the issue that is being addressed.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/li><\/ol>History is rife with examples of competitions. They are not new, but competitions can break new ground and open doors to new networks and new ideas. We can and should learn from today\u2019s many competitions and ensure that all participants benefit from the process thereby producing many \u201cwinners.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","excerpt":"Throughout history, competitions have produced innovative ideas, creative solutions, and even new industries.

Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article","html_content":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.<\/p>Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).<\/p>A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).<\/p>Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit).

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.<\/p>Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.<\/p>Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.<\/p>After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women.

As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women. By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter.

By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.<\/p>But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter. By 2000, women still hadn\u2019t achieved parity with men in enrollment at the higher-ranked schools, despite women being\u00a056.1% of college students\u00a0overall that year.<\/p>A fair amount of research exists on the law schools that were most welcoming to women, according to Elizabeth Katz, an associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the paper\u2019s authors. But that leaves a gap in context, she said.<\/p>\u201cFewer people want to study the law schools that have a bad record,\u201d said Katz. \u201cBut of course, that\u2019s a really important part of the story to understand as well.\u201d<\/p>Women in law professorships and dean positions lagged further behind, with their representation growing more slowly than that of students. Faculties experience lower turnover than student bodies and have far lower numbers anyway.

The Women & Girls Index (WGI) provides the only systematically generated, comprehensive data on charitable organizations dedicated to women and girls. The WGI tracks the landscape of women\u2019s and girls\u2019 organizations in the U.S., including the amount of philanthropic support they receive from individuals, foundations, and corporations. You can download the full list of WGI organizations, as well as search for organizations by keyword, category, and geographic location at WomenAndGirlsIndex.org. This website also contains more details about the Index, and the methodology used to create and update the WGI.<\/p>
The updated WGI adds information from 2019\u2014 the most recent year for which finalized IRS data on charitable organizations is available. This update expands the picture of charitable giving to women and girls from 2012 to 2019. The year 2019 saw philanthropic support for equal pay inspired by the U.S. women\u2019s national soccer team winning the World Cup and ongoing charitable giving in response to the #MeToo movement. The 2019 WGI data provide a baseline for charitable giving to women\u2019s and girls\u2019 organizations prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disproportionately impacted women in numerous ways.<\/p>
Findings: <\/strong><\/p>Women\u2019s and girls\u2019 organizations received nearly $8 billion in philanthropic support, or less than 2% of overall charitable giving, in 2019.<\/li>Reproductive health and family planning organizations received the greatest amount of philanthropic support for women\u2019s and girls\u2019 organizations in 2019. Gender equality and employment organizations experienced the largest increase in charitable giving to WGI organizations from 2012 to 2019.<\/li>Among collectives of women, organizations serving women and girls receive greater philanthropic support\u2014and grew at a much faster rate from 2012 to 2019\u2014 than those serving the general population.<\/li><\/ol>Read the full article about\u00a0giving to women\u2019s and girls\u2019 organizations<\/a>\u00a0at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at\u00a0Indiana University.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","excerpt":"The Women & Girls Index (WGI) provides the only systematically generated, comprehensive data on charitable organizations dedicated to women and girls.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts. Together, our community is building an equitable ecosystem of impact which offers a low-barrier of entry for any nonprofit into the world of crypto philanthropy.\u00a0Please consider these next steps for using crypto for social good:Join\u00a0Endaoment\u2019s community to learn more and interact with other donors and nonprofits in our ecosystemOpen a\u00a0donor-advised fund (DAF)With a crypto wallet,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cdeploy\u201d (or onboard) your favorite nonprofit onto the Endaoment platformEmail donors@endaoment.org with questions*Note: Endaoment does not give tax advice.

Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>According to Fidelity<\/span><\/a>, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. <\/span>Endaoment<\/span><\/a>, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.<\/span><\/p>Just like a traditional <\/span>community foundation<\/span><\/a>, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The <\/span>Endaoment web app<\/span><\/a> accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span>. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.<\/span><\/p>Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), <\/span>community funds<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>directly<\/span><\/a> to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.<\/span><\/p>Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit <\/span>Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.<\/span><\/p>This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of <\/span>blockchain<\/span><\/a> technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible <\/span>on-chain<\/span><\/a> in block explorers like <\/span>Etherscan<\/span><\/a>, without any personal identifying information.<\/span><\/p>Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts. Together, our community is building an equitable ecosystem of impact which offers a low-barrier of entry for any nonprofit into the world of crypto philanthropy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Please consider these next steps for using crypto for social good:<\/span><\/p>Join\u00a0<\/span>Endaoment\u2019s community<\/span><\/a> to learn more and interact with other donors and nonprofits in our ecosystem<\/span><\/li>Open a\u00a0<\/span>donor-advised fund<\/span><\/a> (DAF)<\/span><\/li>With a crypto wallet,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u201cdeploy\u201d<\/span><\/a> (or onboard) your favorite nonprofit onto the Endaoment platform<\/span><\/li>Email <\/span>donors@endaoment.org<\/span> with questions<\/span><\/li><\/ul>*<\/span><\/i>Note: <\/span><\/i>Endaoment does not give tax advice<\/i><\/b>.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts.

The student journalists focused on housing issues in their reporting and the cohort included students with lived experience with homelessness and housing insecurity. The CLARIFY program is a paid internship run by\u00a0City Limits, a nonprofit investigative news organization for which Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies is a major funder. Trinity\u2019s grant does not directly fund CLARIFY, which is funded by the Google News Initiative, The Pinkerton Foundation, and The Harmon Foundation, but the offer of classroom space in our building for five weeks was an easy call \u2014 it\u2019s one of the ways Trinity seeks to walk alongside our grantees.For Trinity, being a church is at the center of how we approach our philanthropy, and we are guided by the scripture \u201cThey are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share.\u201d (1 Timothy 6:18). We seek to be generous with our grantees and\u00a0walk alongside\u00a0them, a term which comes from our faith, but is also an attitude of mind that we hope has universal applicability.\u00a0We are mindful that the term \u201cpartner\u201d is often over- and mis-used in philanthropy, where dynamics of power and money make true partnership hard to achieve. We therefore prefer \u201cwalking alongside\u201d and understand this as a way to be in relationship with our grantees, playing to our respective strengths and competencies. And \u2014 to stretch the journey metaphor a little further \u2014 to also stay in our lane: we seek to be additive and an ally, not an annoyance.This year the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) conducted a\u00a0Grantee Perception Survey for Trinity.

We seek to be generous with our grantees and\u00a0walk alongside<\/em>\u00a0them, a term which comes from our faith, but is also an attitude of mind that we hope has universal applicability.\u00a0We are mindful that the term \u201cpartner\u201d is often over- and mis-used in philanthropy, where dynamics of power and money make true partnership hard to achieve. We therefore prefer \u201cwalking alongside\u201d and understand this as a way to be in relationship with our grantees, playing to our respective strengths and competencies. And \u2014 to stretch the journey metaphor a little further \u2014 to also stay in our lane: we seek to be additive and an ally, not an annoyance.<\/p>This year the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) conducted a\u00a0Grantee Perception Survey for Trinity<\/a>.

A new study identifies steps health care teams can take to identify and treat more sexually transmitted infections.<\/p>
The study included nearly 1,350 patients receiving care for HIV at nine different US clinics. The steps include:<\/p>
The 1,348 participants in the study, published in\u00a0AIDS Patient Care and STDs<\/a><\/em>, completed 2,203 tablet-based ACASI sexual history surveys leading to 531 participants receiving more sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing related to reported risk behaviors.<\/p>Those tests identified 255 cases of\u00a0gonorrhea<\/a>,\u00a0chlamydia<\/a>, or\u00a0syphilis<\/a>, most of which (86%) would have otherwise gone undetected for lack of symptoms since most clinics test only after annual screenings or when patients are symptomatic.<\/p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to identify and treat these infections because they can have severe long-term consequences such as infertility, blindness, and chronic pain, but we\u2019ve struggled to routinely screen and test at-risk persons nationally,\u201d says lead author John A. Nelson, the director of national training at the Rutgers University School of Nursing Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Bagnoud Center in Newark. \u201cFew people realize how common STIs have become. Plus, providers and patients alike commonly feel uncomfortable\u00a0discussing sexual behavior<\/a>, even in HIV clinics.\u201d<\/p>The incidence of bacterial STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) has risen sharply since 2014. With more people with\u00a0HIV<\/a>\u00a0being in treatment, virally suppressed, and thus unable to spread HIV, and more people using HIV prevention medication (PrEP), there has been an increase in condomless sex.<\/p>Using federal recommendations of asking about sexual behaviors and testing at-risk or symptomatic patients during routine doctor visits and repeating every 3-6 months if risk persists, this evaluative study used the four evidence-based interventions at nine HIV clinics in areas with above-average HIV and STI incidences.<\/p>Read the full article about STI detection by Andrew Smith at Futurity.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"A new study identifies steps health care teams can take to identify and treat more sexually transmitted infections.

Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same.

On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process.

The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women. By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter. By 2000, women still hadn\u2019t achieved parity with men in enrollment at the higher-ranked schools, despite women being\u00a056.1% of college students\u00a0overall that year.A fair amount of research exists on the law schools that were most welcoming to women, according to Elizabeth Katz, an associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the paper\u2019s authors. But that leaves a gap in context, she said.\u201cFewer people want to study the law schools that have a bad record,\u201d said Katz. \u201cBut of course, that\u2019s a really important part of the story to understand as well.\u201dWomen in law professorships and dean positions lagged further behind, with their representation growing more slowly than that of students.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.<\/p>Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.<\/p>Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.<\/p>After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women. By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.<\/p>But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter. By 2000, women still hadn\u2019t achieved parity with men in enrollment at the higher-ranked schools, despite women being\u00a056.1% of college students\u00a0overall that year.<\/p>A fair amount of research exists on the law schools that were most welcoming to women, according to Elizabeth Katz, an associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the paper\u2019s authors. But that leaves a gap in context, she said.<\/p>\u201cFewer people want to study the law schools that have a bad record,\u201d said Katz. \u201cBut of course, that\u2019s a really important part of the story to understand as well.\u201d<\/p>Women in law professorships and dean positions lagged further behind, with their representation growing more slowly than that of students.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process.

The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts.

Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article","html_content":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.<\/p>Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).<\/p>A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).<\/p>Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit).

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.<\/p>Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.<\/p>Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.<\/p>After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts.

Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article","html_content":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process.

The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women. By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter. By 2000, women still hadn\u2019t achieved parity with men in enrollment at the higher-ranked schools, despite women being\u00a056.1% of college students\u00a0overall that year.A fair amount of research exists on the law schools that were most welcoming to women, according to Elizabeth Katz, an associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the paper\u2019s authors. But that leaves a gap in context, she said.\u201cFewer people want to study the law schools that have a bad record,\u201d said Katz. \u201cBut of course, that\u2019s a really important part of the story to understand as well.\u201dWomen in law professorships and dean positions lagged further behind, with their representation growing more slowly than that of students.

Now, if a law school has more female faculty members, it\u2019s likely to have more women as students.<\/p>Higher-ranked schools have tended toward fewer women faculty members since the 1980s. In 2020, U.S. law schools with a national ranking of 51 or lower, known as Tier 3 schools, had roughly the same number of male and female professors. But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.<\/p>Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.<\/p>After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women. By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.<\/p>But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter. By 2000, women still hadn\u2019t achieved parity with men in enrollment at the higher-ranked schools, despite women being\u00a056.1% of college students\u00a0overall that year.<\/p>A fair amount of research exists on the law schools that were most welcoming to women, according to Elizabeth Katz, an associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the paper\u2019s authors. But that leaves a gap in context, she said.<\/p>\u201cFewer people want to study the law schools that have a bad record,\u201d said Katz. \u201cBut of course, that\u2019s a really important part of the story to understand as well.\u201d<\/p>Women in law professorships and dean positions lagged further behind, with their representation growing more slowly than that of students.

The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy. It goes by many names \u2014 gig economy, sharing economy, collaborative economy, on-demand economy\u201d (Smith, 2017, para. 3). Whatever you call it, this new structure for exchange, made possible by advances in technology and driven primarily by millennials \u2014 \u201cthe first generation of digital natives [to] come of age \u2026, is redefining the ways people live and work\u201d (Smith, 2017, paras. 3-4).<\/p>
As explained by M\u00f6hlmann (2015),\u00a0<\/em>this new economy is composed of users instead of buyers. Their collaborative consumption, further defined by Belk (2014) as \u201cpeople coordinating the acquisition and distribution of a resource for a fee or other compensation\u201d (p. 1597), has created a new marketplace where access replaces ownership, flexibility supersedes stability, and community is more highly valued than consumption. Users in the sharing economy pay attention to the fact that collaborative consumption helps them to save money and is therefore in their self-interest.<\/p>Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).<\/p>A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).<\/p>Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>Read the full article about nonprofit research by Sedat Yuksel at Johnson Center for Philanthropy.Read the full article<\/a><\/button><\/p>","excerpt":"The \u201cdigital revolution has created a new economy.

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts.

Collaborative consumption is now well-settled in five sectors, according to The Digital Consumer: \u201cpeer-to-peer accommodation, peer to-peer transportation, on-demand household services, and on-demand professional services and collaborative financing.\" The consumers of the new economy are also sharing assets (e.g., cars, rooms, appliances); reusing assets (e.g., second-hand clothes, furniture); and prolonging the useful life of other items through maintenance, designing for durability, upgrading, etc. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).<\/p>
A 2016 survey of American adults on the scope and impact of the shared, collaborative, and on-demand economy, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that in total, 72% had used at least one shared or on-demand service (Smith).<\/p>
Research has found that saving money, convenience, and sustainability are the top drivers of sharing behavior (Dellaert 2019; Eckhardt et al. 2019). Status is also a key element here: According to a 2015 study by Samuel, about a third of customers would consider sharing instead of buying if the service offered them access to brand-name goods or services. On the other side, about a third would switch back from sharing to buying if it offered an easier path to getting what they want (para. 6).<\/p>
M\u00f6hlmann (2015) showed that trust also has an important role to play in users\u2019 satisfaction. \u201cTrust\u201d and \u201ccommunity belonging\u201d clearly play a substantial role in an individual\u2019s decision to participate in philanthropy, too. As does \u201creputation,\u201d as we will see later on.<\/p>
In this article, I do not argue that the determinants\/mechanisms of sharing and giving definitively overlap, or that they are operationally the same. However, my concern is whether or not these similarities might mean that sharing activity negatively influences giving behavior.<\/p>

Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.\u00a0According to Fidelity, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.\u00a0A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.Just like a traditional community foundation, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The Endaoment web app accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted over-the-counter. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), community funds, or directly to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory.Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of blockchain technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities. This means that all money flowing into Endaoment\u2019s accounts, and all grants distributed to nonprofits are visible on-chain in block explorers like Etherscan, without any personal identifying information.Just as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) translates traditional banking systems\u2019 control over lending products and money into the hands of everyday users, Endaoment aims to alter the notion that only large nonprofits with multi-million dollar budgets can reap the benefits of new technologies.\u00a0Donors can now utilize any digital asset in service of the causes they care about, knowing that any nonprofit, both small and large, can benefit from these gifts. Together, our community is building an equitable ecosystem of impact which offers a low-barrier of entry for any nonprofit into the world of crypto philanthropy.\u00a0Please consider these next steps for using crypto for social good:Join\u00a0Endaoment\u2019s community to learn more and interact with other donors and nonprofits in our ecosystemOpen a\u00a0donor-advised fund (DAF)With a crypto wallet,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cdeploy\u201d (or onboard) your favorite nonprofit onto the Endaoment platformEmail donors@endaoment.org with questions*Note: Endaoment does not give tax advice.

A new model of giving, dubbed \u201ccrypto philanthropy\u201d by the burgeoning <\/span>web3<\/span><\/a> movement, is changing the way donors fund nonprofit work focused on their favorite causes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Crypto philanthropy is setting a new precedent in the efficiency and transparency of charitable donations, but the most significant hurdle continues to be a gap in education, both among nonprofits and potential donors. Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>According to Fidelity<\/span><\/a>, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. <\/span>Endaoment<\/span><\/a>, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.<\/span><\/p>Just like a traditional <\/span>community foundation<\/span><\/a>, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The <\/span>Endaoment web app<\/span><\/a> accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span>. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.<\/span><\/p>Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), <\/span>community funds<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>directly<\/span><\/a> to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.<\/span><\/p>Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit <\/span>Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization.

Crypto philanthropy is setting a new precedent in the efficiency and transparency of charitable donations, but the most significant hurdle continues to be a gap in education, both among nonprofits and potential donors. Most 501(c)(3) organizations do not have the resources or technical experience to directly accept cryptocurrency, and the vast majority are unaware of publicly available infrastructure that can be used to simplify the process. Similarly, many holders of digital assets aren\u2019t aware of their ability to donate their crypto or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to nonprofits, and may not know of the potential tax benefits of giving assets without needing to liquidate them first.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>According to Fidelity<\/span><\/a>, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. <\/span>Endaoment<\/span><\/a>, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.<\/span><\/p>Just like a traditional <\/span>community foundation<\/span><\/a>, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The <\/span>Endaoment web app<\/span><\/a> accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span>. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.<\/span><\/p>Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), <\/span>community funds<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>directly<\/span><\/a> to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.<\/span><\/p>Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit <\/span>Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization.

According to Fidelity<\/span><\/a>, more than one-in-three young investors (35%) currently own some form of cryptocurrency, compared to 13% of all investors. However, only one-third (33%) of crypto holders reported having donated digital assets to nonprofits, and nearly half (46%) of these donors felt it difficult to find charities which directly accepted cryptocurrency donations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. <\/span>Endaoment<\/span><\/a>, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.<\/span><\/p>Just like a traditional <\/span>community foundation<\/span><\/a>, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The <\/span>Endaoment web app<\/span><\/a> accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span>. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.<\/span><\/p>Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), <\/span>community funds<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>directly<\/span><\/a> to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.<\/span><\/p>Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit <\/span>Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.<\/span><\/p>This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits.

A new cohort of donors is emerging, with crypto holders eager to donate appreciated assets for social good. Meanwhile, nonprofits are always seeking new approaches to fundraising, and sources of revenue. <\/span>Endaoment<\/span><\/a>, a 501(c)(3) community foundation built for the crypto community, is designed to bridge this gap and meet these needs.<\/span><\/p>Just like a traditional <\/span>community foundation<\/span><\/a>, Endaoment encourages and manages charitable giving, specializing in donations of digital assets. The <\/span>Endaoment web app<\/span><\/a> accepts over 1,000 tokens in their native form, and hundreds more are accepted <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span>. Donating cryptocurrency in its native form could allow donors to offset their capital gains taxes while simultaneously taking a tax deduction*.<\/span><\/p>Donors may choose to contribute to donor-advised funds (DAFs), <\/span>community funds<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>directly<\/span><\/a> to nonprofits with an industry-low 1.5% fee (.5% when giving into a DAF, and 1% when granting to a nonprofit). This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.<\/span><\/p>Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit <\/span>Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.<\/span><\/p>This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits.

This structure showcases a financial incentive for throughput, and challenges the traditional narrative of DAF providers taking quarterly fees based on assets under management, with little incentive for active grantmaking.<\/span><\/p>Endaoment allows donors to sort based on NTEE code but for those looking to specifically fund vetted social justice nonprofits, we recommend they visit <\/span>Giving Compass' social justice nonprofit directory<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>Once donated, all gifts are liquidated by Endaoment to U.S. dollars and wired directly to the recipient nonprofit\u2019s bank account at no charge to the organization. This levels the playing field for nonprofits, allowing them to benefit from a new asset class and donor base without ever needing to custody or engage with cryptocurrency directly.<\/span><\/p>This method offers a familiar and approachable introduction to cryptocurrencies for nonprofits. Endaoment is a crypto-native organization, and is working to leverage the advantages of <\/span>blockchain<\/span><\/a> technology which powers cryptocurrencies towards improved transparency, equity, and scale of impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Simply put, a blockchain is a public ledger of all transactions within a network, giving anyone with sufficient knowledge the ability to view an entity\u2019s activities.

But law schools consistently ranked 14 or higher, Tier 1 schools, only had about two female professors for every five male professors.Law schools enrolled virtually no women through the first half of the 20th century. But the 1960s saw a number of cultural and policy changes, such as federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination in certain types of work and colleges removing rules barring women from the classroom.After that, the number of female law students grew rapidly through the early 1970s, researchers wrote. In 1960, no U.S. law school enrolled more than 20% women. By 1975, over 90% of schools enrolled between 20% and 40% women.But the percentage of women enrolled in law schools stabilized shortly thereafter. By 2000, women still hadn\u2019t achieved parity with men in enrollment at the higher-ranked schools, despite women being\u00a056.1% of college students\u00a0overall that year.A fair amount of research exists on the law schools that were most welcoming to women, according to Elizabeth Katz, an associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis and one of the paper\u2019s authors.

This summer, 28 New York City high school students spent five weeks at Trinity Commons where they learned the craft of journalism. The student journalists focused on housing issues in their reporting and the cohort included students with lived experience with homelessness and housing insecurity. The CLARIFY program is a paid internship run by\u00a0City Limits<\/a>, a nonprofit investigative news organization for which Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies is a major funder. Trinity\u2019s grant does not directly fund CLARIFY, which is funded by the Google News Initiative, The Pinkerton Foundation, and The Harmon Foundation, but the offer of classroom space in our building for five weeks was an easy call \u2014 it\u2019s one of the ways Trinity seeks to walk alongside our grantees.<\/p>For Trinity, being a church is at the center of how we approach our philanthropy, and we are guided by the scripture \u201cThey are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share.\u201d (1 Timothy 6:18). We seek to be generous with our grantees and\u00a0walk alongside<\/em>\u00a0them, a term which comes from our faith, but is also an attitude of mind that we hope has universal applicability.\u00a0We are mindful that the term \u201cpartner\u201d is often over- and mis-used in philanthropy, where dynamics of power and money make true partnership hard to achieve. We therefore prefer \u201cwalking alongside\u201d and understand this as a way to be in relationship with our grantees, playing to our respective strengths and competencies. And \u2014 to stretch the journey metaphor a little further \u2014 to also stay in our lane: we seek to be additive and an ally, not an annoyance.<\/p>This year the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) conducted a\u00a0Grantee Perception Survey for Trinity<\/a>. Nearly half of Trinity grantees report receiving non-monetary support during their grant period, and nearly all of those grantees indicate it was a moderate or major benefit to their organization or work. As we use the feedback from grantees to learn and improve, it is of note that Trinity grantees who reported receiving non-monetary assistance indicated a more positive experience compared to those who did not. That\u2019s a great incentive for us to build out our non-monetary assistance, our Walking Alongside Offering, further.<\/p>The Walking Alongside Offering has three key components.<\/p>Capacity-Building<\/li>Convening and Connecting<\/li>Championing<\/li><\/ol>Read the full article about walking alongside offering<\/a> by\u00a0Neill Coleman at The Center for Effective Philanthropy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","excerpt":"This summer, 28 New York City high school students spent five weeks at Trinity Commons where they learned the craft of journalism.

We seek to be generous with our grantees and\u00a0walk alongside<\/em>\u00a0them, a term which comes from our faith, but is also an attitude of mind that we hope has universal applicability.\u00a0We are mindful that the term \u201cpartner\u201d is often over- and mis-used in philanthropy, where dynamics of power and money make true partnership hard to achieve. We therefore prefer \u201cwalking alongside\u201d and understand this as a way to be in relationship with our grantees, playing to our respective strengths and competencies. And \u2014 to stretch the journey metaphor a little further \u2014 to also stay in our lane: we seek to be additive and an ally, not an annoyance.<\/p>This year the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) conducted a\u00a0Grantee Perception Survey for Trinity<\/a>. Nearly half of Trinity grantees report receiving non-monetary support during their grant period, and nearly all of those grantees indicate it was a moderate or major benefit to their organization or work. As we use the feedback from grantees to learn and improve, it is of note that Trinity grantees who reported receiving non-monetary assistance indicated a more positive experience compared to those who did not. That\u2019s a great incentive for us to build out our non-monetary assistance, our Walking Alongside Offering, further.<\/p>The Walking Alongside Offering has three key components.<\/p>Capacity-Building<\/li>Convening and Connecting<\/li>Championing<\/li><\/ol>Read the full article about walking alongside offering<\/a> by\u00a0Neill Coleman at The Center for Effective Philanthropy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","excerpt":"This summer, 28 New York City high school students spent five weeks at Trinity Commons where they learned the craft of journalism.
