Abstract
Researchers and practitioners in the nonprofit sector have long noted the tendency for people to offer greater aid to a specific, identifiable person who is suffering, rather than to a large, abstract group with the same need. This bias is called the “identifiable victim effect” (IVE), and it can have a considerable impact on philanthropy, fundraising, and disaster relief efforts.
