Abstract

This paper demonstrates that Paul Schervish and colleagues’ theoretical modelling of philanthropic behaviour is applicable outside its original US boundary. The research uses empirical data collected from interviews with elite Indian philanthropists to test whether this theory can be extended to Indian elite philanthropy. The paper initially proposes that the Schervish model is the most appropriate for this test of the theories currently developed for understanding the values, beliefs, and motives of elite philanthropists. Testing against the data from India found that it was a suitable model for understanding the philanthropic behaviour of the Indian elite, and could be considered by fundraisers and policy makers globally.
