  • Charitable Triad Theory: How donors, beneficiaries, and fundraisers all influence donations

  • Donor motivations: Which motivations are most important for giving (to different causes)

  • Identity and giving: How identities and social norms influence people’s charity preferences

  • Localised prosociality: How donors collate their charity portfolios around geographic concerns

  • Rage donations: Giving as a form of collective action

  • The Champion Effect: How fundraisers drive success in peer-to-peer campaigns [28 minutes plus general Q&A]
