Navigating the Philanthropy Landscape in 2024

The past year was certainly a roller-coaster ride for both the economy and the philanthropy landscape with the Giving USA Report on Giving showing the first decline in years, including a marked decline in individual donors giving to charity.

Philanthropy is always about the glass being half full, with wonderful opportunity in 2024, yet as professionals we need to both understand and overcome the challenges that we face. Bill has identified five challenges–and opportunities in 2024 where we can continue to elevate philanthropy for our institutions and communities, as well as advance professional development, competency, and success.
