A Great Learning Opportunity!
Valuable Insite!
With the number of Americans giving to charity declining overall, many nonprofits increasingly rely on a smaller, more affluent circle of supporters to meet their fundraising goals. The importance and influence of these high-capacity donors only continue to increase. The new Bank of America Study of Philanthropy, the tenth in our series of reports on giving by wealthy households in the United States, begun in 2006, illuminates many expressions of generosity by affluent Americans. Our presentation will explore what motivates affluent donors to give and stop giving, and which organizations affluent Americans currently support. These insights can help build confidence and increase the success of nonprofit staff and board members when seeking support from high-capacity donors, with the goal of securing transformational gifts to advance the nonprofit’s mission. Individual and family philanthropists will also gain a better understanding of emerging national trends and best practices in giving.
Key learning includes:
1. What are recent trends in giving and volunteering among America’s affluent households, with a focus on distinct donor demographics such as women and the rising generation?
2. Which organizations and causes are supported by affluent donors, and why?
3. How affluent Americans leverage sustainable investment strategies and assess the impact of their giving.
4. How the economy and other forces may drive donor behaviors and community impact throughout 2025 and beyond.
