Wealthy young philanthropists focus on gap between rich and poor | UK Fundraising: Wealthy philanthropists aged under 30 are more concerned with the gap between rich and poor people than philanthropists aged over 45, according to research for Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).

A survey of 1,428 wealthy philanthropists in six countries revealed that nearly half (44%) of those under 30 surveyed cited this issue, compared with 16% of over 45s surveyed. The latter preferred to give to causes supporting the older generation.

The survey by wealth consultancy Scorpio Partnerships covered donors with an average net worth of more than �1.5 million in the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Singapore and Malaysia.
