Join us for this year’s Giving USA report on philanthropy trends
If you’re part of the not-for-profit world, you won’t want to miss this event. Melissa Brown of the Nonprofit Research Collaborative will present valuable research from the Giving USA report.
With 60 years’ worth of benchmarks, Giving USA provides a broad picture of changes in funding patterns over time as well as current trends. The report covers four types of donors – individuals, foundations, estates (bequests) and corporations. Giving USA also reports on estimated contributions to 10 different types of charities, reflecting the priorities and values of Americans who support not-for-profits.
We’re happy to help make this important information available to clients, colleagues & friends of Clark Schaefer Hackett at no charge.
