Join CCS Fundraising and a seasoned development leader for an interactive roundtable on the state of giving in Dallas. Starting with national insights from Giving USA and narrowing in on findings from the 2025 North Texas Philanthropic Landscape Report, this session will explore how broader giving trends manifest locally and what they mean for organizational strategy. Together, we'll explore how these dynamics are shaping fundraising priorities, challenges, and opportunities for the year ahead. The session will also include space for peer-to-peer exchange among nonprofit leaders across Dallas, fostering cross-sector insights and shared strategies.
