“…The Oxford English dictionary () defines charity as the ‘voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need’ (‘charity, 2018’). Sulek () suggests that philanthropy is less well defined but that it is generally recognised as the private giving of time or valuables (money, security, property) for public purposes. Furthermore, it is characterised as one of the forms of income of private non‐profit organisations (Salamon, ).…”

This paper analyses the development of the specialism of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer care via a Foucauldian lens to consider how knowledge and awareness have grown since questions were first raised about unmet needs of AYAs with cancer. The AYA specialism has gathered momentum over the last 30 years in the United Kingdom (UK) and is fast gathering pace internationally. Fundamental to this process has been the combined contribution from nursing and other health professionals, researchers, policy‐makers and philanthropists. From an initial process of problematisation, through a gradual growth in empirical knowledge and resultant shifts in health policy, a new nexus of expertise has emerged that enabled AYA cancer care to become recognised as distinct from either child or adult oncology. Different stakeholders contributed to the discourses that have underpinned this development—a process likely to continue as it expands further. This paper draws on examples from the growth of the AYA specialism, the emergence of new professional roles and a growth in research. It illustrates how the coalescing of multiple perspectives allowed new discourses and, ultimately, new practices to be established that now have global impact.

“…Furthermore, a central characteristic of philanthropy is altruism: giving unselfishly for the welfare of others. There is still debate however from leading scholars in the field of philanthropy as to the measurability of altruism (Sulek, 2009). Despite this challenge, the fundamental core of philanthropy as drawn from the above definitions appears to be a love for humankind and a just, equitable society.…”

“…Definitions have changed over time, and different scholars have defined philanthropy in terms of how it has been practiced (Sulek, 2010). For this article, we view philanthropy in terms of the practice of giving money to any entity (e.g., public, private, for-profit, nonprofit) by private, IRS-designated charitable organizations to foster change in public education through the adoption of the Common Core.…”

The Common Core State Standards Initiative seeks to prepare all students to graduate high school without remedial needs, to improve transparency across states’ accountability systems, and to foster efficiencies in the development and distribution of educational resources. The reform was adopted in more than 40 states and has been described as state-led. We examined federal and philanthropic funding for the reform through a conceptual lens of resource dependence theory. Our document analyses surfaced eight pathways along which funding for the Common Core traveled into, through, and around the public education system. We consider clusters of pathways according to their purposes and the consequences of such clustering for the reform. We conclude by discussing benefits derived from this funding for different types of entities that grant and receive it.
