Major Data for Major Gifts

Have you ever wondered, what motivates your donors to give? How does your organization’s giving stack up to national trends? What you should do with these trends?

How should they influence your development plans? And how could you use them to motivate your staff and board?

This interactive presentation will answer these questions and more, providing you with highlights from this year’s leading studies on philanthropy including Giving USA 2023, The Bank of America Study of High Net-Worth Philanthropy, and the Fundraising Effectiveness Project. We will uncover national trends and how they compare with your results as well as provide practical recommendations and tips to incorporate this information into your development strategy.

This workshop will include new data from the 2024 reports. Join us to stay informed on the latest information and giving trends!
