In the ‘new Gilded Age’ of mega-wealth and big philanthropy, academics are not paying enough attention to private foundations. Mirroring upward trends in philanthropy broadly, marine conservation philanthropy has more than doubled in recent years, reaching virtually every globally salient marine conservation issue in all corners of the planet. This paper argues that marine conservation philanthropy warrants a dedicated research agenda because private foundations are prominent, unique, and under-studied actors seeking to shape the future of a “frontier” space. We present a co-produced social science research agenda on marine conservation philanthropy that reflects the priorities of 106 marine conservation donors, practitioners, and stakeholders who participated in a research co-design process in 2018. These “research co-designers” raised 137 unique research questions, which we grouped into five thematic research priorities: outcomes, governance roles, exits, internal foundation governance, and funding landscape. We identify issues of legitimacy, justice, and applied best practice as cross-cutting research priorities that came up throughout the five themes. Participants from the NGO, foundation, and government sectors identified questions within all five themes and three cross-cutting issues, underscoring shared interest in this work from diverse groups. The research we call for herein can inform the practice of conservation philanthropy at a time when foundations are increasingly reckoning with their role as institutions of power in society. This paper is broadly relevant for social and natural scientists, practitioners, donors, and policy-makers interested in better understanding private philanthropy in any environmental context globally.

打开保护慈善事业的黑匣子:关于海洋保护私人基金会的联合研究议程

在巨额财富和大型慈善事业的“新镀金时代”,学术界对私人基金会的关注不够。反映慈善事业的广泛上升趋势,海洋保护慈善事业近年来增加了一倍多,几乎涉及到地球各个角落的所有全球突出的海洋保护问题。本文认为,海洋保护慈善事业需要专门的研究议程,因为私人基金会是寻求塑造“前沿”空间未来的杰出、独特且研究不足的参与者。我们提出了一份关于海洋保护慈善事业的联合社会科学研究议程,反映了 2018 年参与研究共同设计过程的 106 位海洋保护捐助者、从业者和利益相关者的优先事项。这些“研究合作设计师”提出了 137 个独特的研究问题,我们将其分为五个主题研究重点:成果、治理角色、退出、内部基金会治理和资金前景。我们将合法性、正义和应用最佳实践问题确定为贯穿五个主题的跨领域研究优先事项。来自非政府组织、基金会和政府部门的参与者确定了所有五个主题和三个跨领域问题中的问题,强调了不同群体对这项工作的共同兴趣。我们在此呼吁的研究可以在基金会越来越多地考虑其作为社会权力机构的作用的时候为保护慈善事业的实践提供信息。本文与社会和自然科学家、从业者、捐助者、
