Trends in Philanthropy

Have you ever wanted to make sense of the sea of fundraising data? Which trends matter? Dr. Angela Seaworth, ACFRE, will share recent fundraising data from Giving USA and the Fundraising Effectiveness Project (FEP), and discuss how we can use the data from these reports to inform an organization's fundraising. This discussion of fundraising data, trends, and FEP tools can help you improve your fundraising effectiveness.
