SORTING THROUGH INDUSTRY FINDINGS AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE YOUR ORGANIZATION'S FUNDRAISING STRATEGY FITS
Thursday, Aug. 24 | 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. EDT
One of the most eye-catching data points to come out of the recently released 2023 Giving USA report was that total charitable giving declined by an inflation-adjusted 3.4% in 2022. With additional reports like AFP's Fundraising Effectiveness Project and M+R Benchmarks backing up this finding, fundraising professionals need to understand how the latest data will impact their work and help them make evidence-based decisions to navigate ongoing trends.
Join us on Aug. 24 at 1:00 p.m. EDT as a panel of fundraising and data experts piece together the main takeaways from the latest research in giving, talk through industry predictions, and discuss how to use these reports to perfect your fundraising strategy in 2023 and beyond!
