To comprehend individual-level decisions' impact on organizations, this response suggests adopting a microfoundations view. As part of this view, research should consider the variety of roles that influence foundations far beyond governance and internal leadership and how practices need to be both aspirational and implementable.

It is possible to meet this need by engaging millennials in charitable activities because of their power to achieve both growth and sustainability. However, they behave and communicate differently than other cohorts of individuals and thus nonprofits have substantial work to tap into their charitable behaviors. Accordingly, the current paper aims to explore the underpinnings of why millennials engage in charitable activities. To do this, in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 participants who regularly donate their time and/or money. Then, data was analyzed with qualitative content analysis technique. Findings indicate that millennials support a range of charitable causes with the motivations of being socially recognized, being self-satisfied, mitigating guilt, and having congruence with the organization. Results contribute to the growing body of knowledge on both individual charitable motivation and especially, charitable motivations of the relevant cohort of individuals. Additionally, the current study provides insightful knowledge that can help managers and marketers on how to engage with millennials in both nonprofits and other sectors.</p>","PeriodicalId":100823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139488498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given numerous challenges in determining investment impact, the Foundation created key metrics such as the quality of grant recipients' contributions to the research literature, and the amount of subsequent cancer-related research funding generated. Evaluating the effect of the Foundation's participatory art program has been difficult given the pandemic-driven shift from in-person sessions to virtual classes. Nonetheless, standard client survey feedback suggests that the virtual classes are not only functioning quite well, but also that accessibility is enhanced. It is clear that imaginative thinking is as important in assessment as it is in implementing medical research funding and arts programming.

Arts philanthropy can play a significant role in enhancing well-being, both due to the direct impact of the arts on well-being and the contribution of philanthropy to the well-being of both donors and recipients.

Through a review of previous studies, we propose a conceptual model to support the success of arts philanthropy by addressing four key elements: who, what, how, and why. Arts philanthropic practices should: (1) Identify the involved stakeholders and their interests within the context of multi-sided markets; (2) Design and execute engaging cultural experiences as part of their offerings; (3) Incorporate the four ethical principles—namely, “Do no harm,” “Do as much good as possible,” “Respect people's autonomy,” and “Treat people with fairness”—into their decision-making processes; (4) Utilize valid and reliable measures of well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":100823,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139109940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We concentrate on the journey at the Capitoline Museums, employing qualitative and quantitative methods (in-depth interviews, subjective personal introspection, non-participant observation, and questionnaires) involving 110 participants. Our findings indicate that (a) Visitor attitudinal and behavioral reactions exhibit consistency for the overall experience but not when analyzed for specific areas; (b) Visitor satisfaction is correlated with the number of companions but not with the number of visited areas in the museum experience; (c) Visitor's apparent dominance over visitor satisfaction is not linked to visitor satisfaction.
