Editor’s note: This is the overview of a Brookings Study inspired by the Buffett/Gates giving pledge. It is a brief and clear summary of the facts learned about the billionaire giving pledge started by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett and the motivation for these billionaires to promise to give away most of their fortunes. I’m going to order and read the whole study. Giving Pledgers are now up to 143, in all. Profiles of each and more info about the campaign can be found at www.givingpledge.org.
Excerpt: “Philanthropy [with pledgers] is impact driven.”
