Philanthropy has historically followed Pareto's Principle, that about 90% of your donations will come from 10% of your donors. Barack Obama changed this perception. The majority of his donations came small donors, less than $100, who donated over and over. Does this mean we'll start seeing a fundamental shift in philanthropy too? Will development officers stop taking Rockefellers out to lunch so they can spend more time on Facebook?
