“…First, we considered demographic factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, income, wealth, savings, and education. The balance of evidence suggests women are more likely to give outright bequests than men (Atkinson, Backus, and Micklewright, 2012; Sargeant and Jay, 2003; Sargeant, Wymer, & Hilton, 2006), as are those persons with more significant resources (James, 2009; McGranahan, 2000; Pharoah and Harrow, 2009). Moreover, Schuyt et al (2017) specified that people who feel they have acquired such wealth with the support of society have a higher probability of leaving a charitable bequest.…”

The topic of fundraising is garnering increased attention from nonprofit practitioners due to the worldwide growth of the nonprofit sector and the subsequent competition for private funds. Despite this surge, academic literature on fundraising and bequest fundraising, in particular, has remained mainly limited to narrow aspects of the discipline. Based on a systematic review of literature published over the past 25 years, we synthesize various research perspectives into a comprehensive framework of studies linking the different issues highlighted by the authors.

The aim of this paper is to propose a multi-stage framework for analysing the bequest decision and to examine the evidence for Great Britain provided by new data on estates. The novelty of the framework is that it distinguishes between the different steps that lead to a charitable bequest. Our new data for Britain have the advantage of covering the whole population, in contrast to much of the US literature based on the small fraction of the population covered by estate tax returns. We focus on the relationship with wealth at death, on the form of the bequest, and on the different causes to which people bequeath.JEL Classification: D12, D31, D64, L31
