“…De Oliveira et al (2012) concluded that religiosity is the prime motive for the contributions to day-to-day charity-giving for low-income Americans. According to Pharoah and Tanner (1997), Nesbit et al (2013) and Prouteau and Sardinha (2013) charity is more appropriate to be given regularly. The term "regularly" means to explore more on the intention (Beldad et al, 2015).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate low-income households in Indonesia with regard to their perspective on charity-giving and its comparison with acquiring debt behavior as their tendencies on taking and giving behaviors toward monetary form. The research framework is seen from the Islamic perspective. Design/methodology/approach Theory of social production function and theory of planned behavior are used as a theoretical framework. A total of 98.89% of the distributed questionnaires were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Behavior of giving charity and acquiring debt are compared according to the given determinants. Findings Under the given Islamic framework, charity is found to be not confined to the donor’s wealth. It is rather centered on religiosity and faith. Subjective norm does not influence intention toward charity. Hence, it only depends on consideration and awareness of a person toward regular giving of charity. Unlike debt that is confined by a person’s wealth, the intention to take debt consecutively of low-income households are also affected by their attitudes, significant others and experiences. Research limitations/implications Respondents are residents of six Indonesian territories that represent West, Middle and East Indonesia. Practical implications Findings are useful for social, as well as microfinance practitioners who are interested in the financial education on low-income households and study their perspective and behavior. Social implications This paper indirectly contributes to changing the perspective of society about charity-giving, especially in philanthropy subject. This paper is also highly recommended for regulator’s input on financial education, as well as for practitioners, consultants and educators. Originality/value Charity basically can assist low-income households experiencing financial hardship, which may be the consequence of consecutive taking debt. Most of the studies on charity-giving focus on high-income households, likewise the debt behavior. Charity-giving in voluntary form is also not widely discussed in view of behavior, specifically in Asian countries like Indonesia.

“…Otherwise, any disputable action may cause the programme to fail (Erb, 2006). Nesbit et al, (2013) and Bekkers and Wiepking (2007) suggest that regular charity-giving would help the community. Thus, if someone has been regularly giving charity to, for example a religious organisation, he/she would never stop giving even though that organisation has collapsed.…”

Households’ financial problem was perceived to be solved by taking other source of fund such as debt. In Islam, taking debt should be considered as the last resource when other sources were not available. Islam gives solution for those who have financial problem. Giving just small amount of money would give barakah to the giver. Charity-giving is not privilege for the rich people, but also for those in dire conditions. This paper attempts to explore whether low-income households’ perception on consecutive debt-taking influences their perception on regular charity-giving especially to achieve stipulated outcomes, i.e. households’ financial resilience. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is employed to analyse 1780 data from respondents across six areas in Indonesia. Low-income households perceived consecutive debt-taking to have negative relationship with regular charity-giving and positive relationship with outcomes (households’ financial condition and lifestyle satisfaction). Meanwhile, regular charity-giving has negative relationship with the outcomes when consecutive debt-taking intervene the relationship. Financial education and selection of financing institution have been proven to have relationships with variables which influence both regular charity-giving and consecutive debt-taking behaviours. As recommendation, charity education or sharing values should be included in the current financial education program. Formal financial institutions and social finance institution should also encourage supervision and continuously give financial education to social funds receivers.

“…Of 343 surveys, results indicated a positive relationship between residency status, sense of belonging, and interest in giving (Nesbit et al, 2015). Additionally, giving increased as residency duration increased (Nesbit et al, 2015). The results from this research are beneficial to the current study for examining the relationship between residency near and far from the institution.…”

The Shifting Scheme of Athletic Fundraising: Investigating Private Giving Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

With a consistent decline in state funding to public higher education, institutions have become more reliant on private funding to institutional support. The shift in government policy through the introduction of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) (2017) created financial uncertainty within athletic departments and university foundations. The TCJA eliminated the 80 percent tax deduction on season ticket donations and increased the standard deduction. With these policy changes, athletic development officers speculated a decline in donations in 2018 and beyond. Using quantitative methodology and a longitudinal approach, this study examined athletic donations from January 1, 2013 to July 31, 2019 using multiple regression analyses to better understand the impacts of the TCJA on athletic giving patterns. The study concluded an overall reduction in the number of season ticket donors post-TCJA, an overall reduction in the number of split donors post-TCJA, and an overall reduction in the total number of donations post-TCJA. This study provides recommendations to athletic departments, development officers, university foundations, and donors to inform higher education fundraising activity under the current government policy.
