I. The Research Landscape We begin by positioning our 2001 High-Tech Donors Study within various recent studies and reports that discuss the new directions in philanthropy that high-tech wealth- holders and their peers from other industries are pursuing. Our readings and research began by a thorough investigation of six different approaches to the so-called "new philanthropy": • We reviewed extensively media articles on “venture” or “new” philanthropy in order to discover what was commonly understood by the term, what its characteristics were, how it was popularly regarded, and how it was treated by the media. We concluded by compiling a list of stereotypes to explore in the interviews; • We examined research from the academe and by the Morino Institute on venture philanthropy and on social entrepreneurship; • We studied reactions from the nonprofit world to venture philanthropy; • We examined recent surveys conducted on the "new wealthy" by financial institutions and investment advisors; • We too wished to place high-tech donors in the context of our own research on wealth holders which spans fifteen years. We reviewed our findings on the charitable motivations and philanthropic strategies among wealth holders, in order to consider whether high-tech philanthropy is as new as has been widely proclaimed; 8
