It is certainly difficult to make money. But should money be difficult to give away? In The Gilded Age, industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller worried about waste and misuse; Carnegie wrote in 1889 that $950 of every $1,000 that went to charity was "unwisely spent". {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Donors ran lengthy application processes, provided funds and fulfilled painstaking reporting requirements. In 2006 The Economist called it "philanthrocapitalism (慈善资本主义)".

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} The 400 richest Americans have given away just 6% of their combined fortunes, according to Forbes. At the last count in 2022, almost $1.2 trn was sitting in American private foundations and $230bn in donor-advised funds, a sort of savings account for donors. Plenty of money is being marked for charity. But it is not getting to worthy causes fast enough.

Fortunately, a new generation of donors is once again shaking up the world of big philanthropy (慈善事业). Leading the mission is MacKenzie Scott, who simplified the process of giving and is donating billions of dollars a year with few conditions. This "no-strings giving" is changing mega-donors' long-held assumptions. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

One is the recognition that philanthropists do not have to do everything themselves. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} An upside of a decades-long trend for businesslike philanthropy is that armies of consultants have emerged to help donors draw up a strategy and conduct due diligence on potential recipients. Donors can team up and share the work, too.

Another lesson from the no-strings crowd is that philanthropists can trust recipients to put money to good use once the proper due diligence is in place. That means analyzing a nonprofit organization's annual reports and interviewing its leaders and other funders.

A. It offers lessons for those struggling to get money out of the door.

B. In addition to that, her charity work is too numerous to mention.

C. However, this idea that charities' money is wasted has been proven wrong by evidence.

D. Mega-donors no longer need to endure the trouble of setting up a foundation and hiring staff.

E. Two decades on, however, it's become clear that all this paperwork puts the brakes on giving.

F. Around the turn of the millennium donors looked to data and rules as a way to stop waste.
