Commodifying Compassion: United States Institutional Context Database

As part of the \"Commodifying Compassion: Implications of Turning People and Humanitarian Causes into Marketable Things\" research project (2017-2023), funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research and led by Professor Lisa Ann Richey, the project team analyzed a series of humanitarian partnerships between government agencies, not-for-profit humanitarian organizations and for-profit corporations centered around commitments to donate proceeds of product sales to social causes. Background databases on the proliferation of this type of partnership were compiled for three donor country contexts - the US, Denmark and Italy - as part of this research. This deposit contains the institutional data for United States which has informed one of the project's publications in process. This work was supported by Samfund og Erhverv, Det Frie Forskningsråd [6109-00158].
