Are there efforts and estimations on the interest rate of giving? Past interest rates are a central feature of conventional investment funds. It would be great to have a broad ballpark figure, much in the spirit of the cost of saving a live.
I searched for interest rate on the forum and did not find anything. Do you know of any posts, articles etc. on that topic you could share?
You might want to check out some of Phil Trammell’s reports, where he analyzes what he calls time preference (time discount rate) with respect to philanthropy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NcfTgZsqT9k30ngeQbappYyn-UO4vltjkm64n4or5r4/edit
Thanks for this link, I liked it very much.
However, I am inquiring about estimations on “returns on giving” to philantropic funds that could be compared to “returns on investment” for conventional stock or index funds.
