The Effects of Public Policy on Private Charity

Arthur C. Brooks

Syracuse University

What do we know empirically about the government's impact on private charitable giving? This article surveys several disparate literatures and data sources on the reaction of private citizens to their most frequent interactions with the public sector. These studies suggest that charitable giving is negatively affected by most tax reforms, receipt ofwelfare payments, government funding of nonprofit activities, and rising confidence in government. These and other findings have implications for policy.

Key Words: nonprofit organizations • philanthropy • charitable giving
