湾区(Bay Area)的捐赠受到一系列首次公开募股(IPO)活动的提振,包括Facebook在2012年5月份的高调上市。2012年年初上市的福斯特城(Foster City)保险软件公司Guidewire Software Inc.有三名董事会成员也进入了捐赠排行前12名。Facebook的首席运营长桑伯格(Sheryl Sandberg)捐出990万美元,排名第八。这些人士的代表没有发表评论。
Local charities note that it isn't just the billionaires who are increasing their giving; rank-and-file employees whose wealth is rising are being generous, too.
当地慈善组织提到,不只是亿万富豪的捐赠额度在提高,财富正在增长的普通员工也很慷慨。
Daniel Lurie, CEO and founder of Tipping Point, a San Francisco-based foundation working to reduce poverty in the Bay Area, says the nonprofit's user base has broadened significantly over its seven-year history. In 2011 it had some 1,300 donors, up from 1,000 a year the before. It expects to beat that when the final numbers for 2012 are tallied.
以减少湾区贫困为宗旨的旧金山基金会Tipping Point的CEO兼创始人卢里(Daniel Lurie)说,这家非营利组织成立七年以来,捐赠人群体已经大大拓宽。2010年它有捐赠人1,000名左右,2011年增至1,300名,2012年最终数字统计出来的时候,预计会超过2011年的水平。
'You don't have to retire to make a difference,' says Mr. Lurie, who adds that in 2011 the foundation raised $12.1 million, up from $450,000 in its first year.
