# Why Rich People Give - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/04/07/why-rich-people-give-2/ - Published: 2013-04-07T21:44:29+01:00 - Author: Howard Lake [amzn_product_post] Philanthropy UK’s Why Rich People Give is the result of the first major research into the attitudes of wealthy people in the UK to money – how they create it, keep it and spend it. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the motivations of the rich to support the charitable sector – or not – by giving money, time and expertise. It covers attitudes to faith, family and community, early experiences of giving and motivations, incentives and rewards. It examines relationships with recipient charities, how people give and feelings about wealth and responsibility.       ## Advertisement Amazon.co.uk say it is out of print (January 2012), but that’s not the case.
