As if that were not enough, there is almost no consensus about when to give. Donors have at times done all their giving while alive in order to see what happens, postponed giving until lying on their deathbeds, given away fortunes through their estates to favored institutions, and placed their philanthropic resources into a foundation established in perpetuity so as to spread out their philanthropy potentially over centuries. Moreover, there has been tremendous variation in the profiles assumed by donors, with some donors seeking and getting tremendous amounts of publicity, while others have operated in complete anonymity, and still others have vacillated between these two extremes—starting out in one camp only to migrate into the other.
