Abstract: Centre for Nonprofit and Philanthropic Studies and the Myer Foundation which funded his work on that section. Gratitude is also expressed to The Atlantic Philanthropies for providing the financial support necessary to launch the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study. Giving: The Next Generation- Parental Effects on Donations This paper provides a summary of what is known from social science research about the effects parents have on the donations of their children. It then goes on to summarize two on-going research projects. The first project provides estimates of the strength of the relationship between the charitable giving of parents and that of their adult children. The second provides estimates of the effect of inheritances on charitable donations. Both projects use data from the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study (COPPS); accordingly, the paper provides an introduction to these data. Finally, the paper draws implications for fundraisers from the two on-going projects, and suggests several other areas in which COPPS can generate knowledge to improve the practice of fundraising.
