CNBC has this article about how the Ice Bucket Challenge may be re-writing the rules of charitable giving. One interesting element is the democratization of charitable giving – instead of a few wealthy donors giving hundreds of thousands or millions or dollars, the focus may now be shifting to many “average Joe” (or Jane) donors giving smaller amounts of money, a sort of democratized crowd funding.
