One such philanthropist is Jeffrey Epstein, who has issued a new press statement, affirming the Economist article and offering his personal endorsement of scientific giving, even in small amounts. “Philanthropy in science is a great way to generate needed publicity for important research being done in laboratories around the world,” Mr. Epstein says. He speaks from experience. In 2003, Mr. Epstein won recognition when his foundation, The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation, established The Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard University with a $30 million grant. The Program continues to do important work to this day.

Crowd funding will become a prevalent way to gain access to capital; it is already happening today and has become big business. Peer-based lending websites like SomoLend, reward-based websites like Kickstarter and RocketHub, and accredited/ non-accredited investor-based websites are proliferating. There are nearly 400 sites worldwide engaged in some form of crowd-based funding (profit versus non-profit and onshore versus offshore).

/images/resized//article_20612_615x0_proportion.png?1351071659
One important issue the SEC faces as it drafts the crowdfunding regulations is how the funding portals will be allowed to solicit investments. Generally, only broker-dealers are allowed to give what the SEC broadly defines as “investment advice,” a caveat included in the Investment Company Act of 1940 to protect investors. But if a funding portal sends out advertisements to average investors notifying them of a new investment opportunity, there is concern that it could constitute giving advice, said Freeman White, co-founder and CEO of the technology company Launcht, which helps set up funding portals.
