TOPIC: Trends in Philanthropy - Fads or “Gamechangers"

What trends should we be paying attention to and will help move our fundraising results to the next level and which trends are passing fads?  From crowdfunding to online and mobile giving to the latest data on donor advised funds and motivations for giving, to highlights from Giving USA, the nation's longest-running study on philanthropy, we'll cover it all.  We’ll explore the facts and trends and consider which ones may help boost your fundraising results. We'll end with practical practitioner observations and recommendations, and time for Q&A.
