Giving USA, the longest-running and most comprehensive report on the sources and uses of charitable giving in America, by Giving USA Foundation,  is a public service initiative of The Giving Institute will be releasing the 2021 data on June 21, 2022.
 
Continued unprecedented developments in 2021 including the global pandemic, the ensuing economic crisis, and efforts to advance racial justice created intense, widespread need and significantly increased the demand upon nonprofit organizations.
How do these trends impact what’s happening on the ground in Southern California? As the sixth largest economy in the world and a powerhouse of innovation, California affects the entire philanthropic market.
Drawing on national, state, and local data, this session will explore insights drawn from this research to give us data-driven strategies that help us navigate challenges unique to our region’s philanthropy. Our speakers will explore sector-wide trends, discuss how these trends impact philanthropy, staffing and donor retention, and organizational planning. Attendees will leave the session armed with techniques to attract new donors, retain existing support, build stronger teams, and thrive in our uneven philanthropic landscape.
Attendees will leave the session with a better understanding of:
  • How emerging trends in fundraising are impacting major gifts—and what to do about it
  • How the current environment is impacting staff recruitment and retention
  • How to craft and execute on strategies that will help us thrive in our uneven philanthropic landscape
