Abstract
Intelligent community have long been active participants in acts of philanthropic exchange. Their contribution is particularly significant due to the intangible assets they possess, which constitute their rich social capital. That allows talking about specific forms of engagement of intellectuals in philanthropy. The article considers those aspects based on a secondary analysis of data obtained from a study carried out by The Ksilab Laboratory of complex sociological research and commissioned by the Shalash Charity Foundation and conducted by a research team in 2020–2021. The study was titled “Charitable Assistance to Crisis Families”. The article delves into the social capital possessed by intellectuals and the opportunities for its application in the field of charity.
As members of a social group endowed with specific knowledge, skills, and resources, intelligent community may act as a significant subject in the philanthropic process, providing non-tangible assistance to various social organizations engaged in charitable aid and sponsorship.
