Mark Zuckerberg and the Rise of Philanthrocapitalism. The announcement by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, that, during their lifetimes, they will donate to philanthropic causes roughly ninety-nine per cent of their Facebook stock, which is currently valued at close to forty-five billion dollars, has already prompted a lot of comment, much of it positive.
That is understandable. The fact that Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and a number of other billionaires are pledging their fortunes to charity rather than seeking to pass them down to their descendants is already having an impact. Last year, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which was founded in 2000, dispensed almost four billion dollars in grants. A big slug of this money went toward fighting diseases like H.I.V., malaria, polio, and tuberculosis, which kill millions of people in poor countries. Zuckerberg and Chan have also already donated hundreds of millions of dollars to various causes, including eradicating the Ebola virus. That is the positive side. How Mark Zuckerberg’s Altruism Helps Himself. Did not donate $45 billion to charity.

Where the Philanthropy $$$ Go and Why You Should Care by Susan Ohanian Reminder: Money spent by "philanthropies" is money shielded from tax collection, so money that should go into public coffers becomes money for the filthy rich to play with--at public expense.

The New Face of Philanthropy. Book Review Philanthrocapitalismby Matthew Bishop and Michael Green Beginning with Warren Buffett's multibillion-dollar gift to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2006 and Bill Gates's decision to turn his primary attention to giving all of that money away, philanthropy has been a hot topic in business circles.
The promise has been that philanthropy would benefit from the overdue application of bu siness methods, and would therefore get faster, tougher, smarter. The Gates Foundation — the largest philanthropy not only today, but ever — is at the center of this movement, which has also been fueled by the efforts of a host of recently successful entrepreneurs, many from the worlds of finance or Silicon Valley, who seek to follow in the footsteps of Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller. Philanthrocapitalism: after the goldrush. It's indisputable that something genuinely important is stirring in the world of philanthropy - a movement to harness the power of business and the market to the goals of social change, what Matthew Bishop calls "philanthrocapitalism".
There is justifiable excitement about the possibilities for progress in global health, agriculture and access to micro-credit among the poor that have been stimulated by huge investments from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative and others. Philanthrocapitalism should certainly help to extend access to useful goods and services, and it has a positive role to play in strengthening important areas of civil-society capacity.

Last year, Bill Gates reminisced in the Huffington Post about his first trip to Africa in 1993. ‘I saw that many of the world’s lifesaving, life-enhancing discoveries were not available in Africa,’ he said. ‘That was deeply upsetting… I became convinced that if science and technology were better applied to the challenges of Africa, the tremendous potential of the continent would be unleashed and people could be healthier and fulfil their promise.’
Having spent 18 years making as much money as possible with Microsoft (the computer software company he co-founded in 1975), in 1994 Gates started giving it away. Philanthropic funds are common among the super-rich in the US; they enable tax avoidance provided five per cent of net investment assets are given away annually. What quickly set Gates’ fund apart was its orientation towards the poor – rather than élite culture or religion – and its sheer size.
