David P. King is the Karen Lake Buttrey Director of the Lake Institute on Faith and Giving as well as Associate Professor of Philanthropic Studies within the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. In 2022, he was affiliated with the University of Edinburgh as the Fulbright Scotland Distinguished Scholar for 2022. His first book, God’s Internationalists: World Vision and the Age of Evangelical Humanitarianism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019) won the Peter Dobkin Hall Prize for the best book in the history of philanthropy. As the Co-PI of the National Study of Congregations’ Economic Practices, (NSCEP), the largest nationally representative study of congregations’ finances, he is helping to build a new field of research on how religious and nonprofit organizations receive, manage, and spend resources. His current work focuses on helping to expand the study of philanthropy across scholarly disciplines and practitioner audiences in order to develop shared conversations on the role of philanthropy plays in shaping the public good. He regularly contributes to national media outlets such as The Washington Post, The Economist, The Atlantic, Religion News Service, The Conversation, and The Chronicle of Philanthropy, and he routinely works with leaders around the United States and internationally through Lake Institute’s executive training courses as well as through speaking at universities, professional conferences, and religious gatherings. He is passionate about research and teaching and is fueled by facilitating conversations with civic leaders, donors, and fundraisers (of all generations) around the intersections of faith, giving, and the public good.
