Yet, as these studies illustrate, and as we have endeavoured to show in this review, closer inspection reveals more philanthropy research in organization studies than is initially apparent.…”

“…The accounts philanthropists purvey of their philanthropic endeavours are effects of power, which enhance their standing in the world of organizing and beyond (Maclean et al., 2015; Villadsen, 2007). Interest in identities in organizations is in the ascendant (Brown, 2015), and the nature of the philanthropic identity presents fertile territory for development (Maclean & Harvey, 2020; Mathias et al., 2017).…”

“…Elite philanthropy is the preserve of wealthy individuals and close family members who have grown rich predominantly through the accumulation of entrepreneurial fortunes, either from scratch or by expanding an inherited business (Audretsch & Hinger, 2014; Mathias et al., 2017). By definition, such people are members variously of local, national and international economic elites (Maclean et al., 2006).…”

“…Extracting economic rents in regional, national and global markets brings escalating profits and equity values (Stiglitz, 2012). When entrepreneurs sell the whole or part of a business, they reap a financial ‘harvest’, part of which may be used to fund philanthropic ventures (Maclean et al., 2015; Mathias et al., 2017). Aided by specialist lawyers, tax experts and financial advisers, the super‐rich protect their wealth through sophisticated tax avoidance schemes (Beaverstock & Hall, 2016).…”

Elite philanthropy—voluntary giving at scale by wealthy individuals, couples and families—is intimately bound up with the exercise of power by elites. This theoretically oriented review examines how big philanthropy in the United States and United Kingdom serves to extend elite control from the domain of the economic to the domains of the social and political, and with what results. Elite philanthropy, we argue, is not simply a benign force for good, born of altruism, but is heavily implicated in what we call the new age of inequalities, certainly as consequence and potentially as cause. Philanthropy at scale pays dividends to donors as much as it brings sustenance to beneficiaries. The research contribution we make is fourfold. First, we demonstrate that the true nature and effects of elite philanthropy can only be understood in the context of what Bourdieu calls the field of power, which maintains the economic, social and political hegemony of the super‐rich, nationally and globally. Second, we demonstrate how elite philanthropy systemically concentrates power in the hands of mega foundations and the most prestigious endowed charitable organizations. Third, we explicate the similarities and differences between the four main types of elite philanthropy—institutionally supportive, market‐oriented, developmental and transformational—revealing how and why different sections within the elite express themselves through philanthropy. Fourth, we show how elite philanthropy functions to lock in and perpetuate inequalities rather than remedying them. We conclude by outlining proposals for future research, recognizing that under‐specification of constructs has hitherto limited the integration of philanthropy within the mainstream of management and organizational research.

“…Another one is Artemisia's Model 2 : Social Impact Business offers scalable solutions to low-income populations' social issues while distributing dividends. Although one model may seem broader than the other, both account for crucial dimensions of social entrepreneurship: social purpose (Dwivedi & Weerawardena, 2018;Wilson & Post, 2013), socio-environmental impact (Arogyaswamy, 2017;Molecke & Pinkse, 2017;Holt & Littlewood, 2015;Nguyen et al, 2015;Stevens et al, 2015), social and economic value (Lumpkin et al, 2018;Dohrmann et al, 2015;Acs et al, 2013;Wilson & Post, 2013); financial self-sustainability (Martin, 2015) and the role of profit (Mathias et al, 2017;Mitchell et al, 2016;Hahn & Ince, 2016;Sanders & McClellan, 2014;Ruvio et al, 2010).…”
