Abstract
Comparative research on philanthropic foundations is scarce despite the fact that it would allow us to identify longstanding developments in the distribution of responsibilities for the public and private. The political space for foundations varies greatly by country and time. By studying foundations, therefore, we can draw general conclusions about changing conceptions of the state and governmental responsibilities vis-à-vis philanthropic commitment in different national contexts.
