Provides data on the flow of household wealth and charitable capacity into and out of New Jersey in 1999-2003 and 2004-08. Examines the impact of the net influx and outflow on expected giving, the characteristics of migrating households, and implications
A Golden Age of Philanthropy Still Beckons: National Wealth Transfer and Potential for Philanthropy Technical Report
This report provides estimates of wealth transfer and philanthropic giving by households during the period from 2007 through 2011, with one study focused on the households in North Dakota, and another focused on household wealth transfer and charitable giving at the national level. Includes projections of individual charitable giving during the next half century. With bibliographical references
Imide/arylene ether copolymers with pendent trifluoromethyl groups
A series of imide/arylene ether block copolymers were prepared using an arylene ether block containing a hexafluoroisopropylidene group and an imide block containing a hexafluoroisopropylidene and a trifluoromethyl group in the polymer backbone. The copolymers were characterized and mechanical properties were determined and compared to the homopolymers
Polyimides with carbonyl and ether connecting groups between the aromatic rings
New polyimides have been prepared from the reaction of aromatic dianhydrides with novel aromatic diamines containing carbonyl and ether connecting groups between the aromatic rings. Several of these polyimides are shown to be semi-crystalline as evidenced by wide angle x ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Most of the polyimides form tough solvent resistant films with high tensile properties. Several of these materials can be thermally processed to form solvent and base resistant moldings
Methyl substituted polyimides containing carbonyl and ether connecting groups
Polyimides were prepared from the reaction of aromatic dianhydrides with novel aromatic diamines having carbonyl and ether groups connecting aromatic rings containing pendant methyl groups. The methyl substituent polyimides exhibit good solubility and form tough, strong films. Upon exposure to ultraviolet irradiation and/or heat, the methyl substituted polyimides crosslink to become insoluble
Center on Wealth and Philanthropy Charitable Giving Indices: Social Indicators of Philanthropy by State
Ranks each state's total charitable giving in 2004 relative to the financial capacity of its population to give, with separate indices for before-tax income, after-tax income, and after-tax income adjusted for two cost-of-living measures
A Golden Age of Philanthropy?: The Impact of the Great Wealth Transfer on Greater Boston
Estimates the baseline household wealth and the expected wealth transfer in the Boston metropolitan area over the next fifty years. Examines the distribution of wealth, final estates, and charitable bequests, and analyzes the transfer's significance
Geography and Generosity: Boston and Beyond
Presents findings from a study of the giving patterns of residents of Boston, Massachusetts, and New England, compared with other cities, states, and regions, based on an index created as an alternative to the Catalog for Philanthropy's Generosity Index
Why the $41 Trillion Wealth Transfer Estimate Is Still Valid: A Review of Challenges and Questions
Despite the economic downturn and the fall of the equity markets, the nationally noted projection that a wealth transfer of at least 41 trillion estimate in light of recent economic conditions, as well as several other critical challenges. While the new commentary does not explicitly deal with the middle- and upper-growth scenarios, the arguments made in support of the 41 trillion estimate remains valid as a 2% growth estimate, even in light of recessionary growth, depressed stock market, and several other criticisms discussed in th
Wealth and the Commonwealth: new findings on wherewithal and philanthropy
Drawing in large part on the 1995 Survey of Consumer Finances, the authors describe the pattern of charitable giving by families at the upper reaches of income and wealth, as well as across the income spectrum. The overriding empirical motif is that the distribution of charitable giving is more highly skewed toward the upper end of the financial spectrum than previously documented, and that there appears to be a trend toward becoming even more so. The overriding theoretical motif is that income and wealth are so thoroughly imbricated, especially at the upper end of the financial spectrum, that the analyses of the determinants of charitable giving need to shift from their current focus on the dynamics of income to a complementary focus on the dynamics of wealth
