Amid pandemic challenges, nearly 90 percent of affluent households gave to charities in 2020, comparable to past years. At the same time, the study found notable shifts in the way donors give across different generations. This represents significant implications for philanthropists and the nonprofit sector going forward.
During this virtual panel discussion, we examine the study’s key findings on the giving patterns and priorities of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and what this means for nonprofits. Learn practical insights on major gift fundraising, how to accelerate a relationship with a HNWI, and the keys to positioning an extraordinary gift.

Pledges can deepen a donor’s ownership of an organization’s success, consolidate and define their giving commitment, and elevate recognition for their long-term generosity. Organizations benefit from pledges through more reliable income, donors that are more invested in the mission, and a larger major gift program.
During this virtual panel discussion, four women nonprofit leaders journey through the evolution of women’s philanthropic impact. The women put perspective on their past, present and future outlooks. They also leverage case studies and personal experience to shed light on what it means to be a woman in the industry while providing high-level advice to the next generation of women leaders.
Recent census data suggest that the United States is more diverse than ever. Donors of color are also increasing their visibility and influence in philanthropy. Demographic shifts related to these groups require that the nonprofit sector expand capacity to reach diverse donors and address with urgency long-standing issues of inclusion and awareness. The sector will need to strengthen awareness, understanding, and engagement opportunities to cultivate a more inclusive and equitable sector.
During this virtual panel discussion, we examine the inclusive meanings and practices of philanthropy by concentrating on the ways that diverse populations are increasingly investing their time, talent, and dollars to make meaningful change. We’ll address the question: How are changing demographics changing our understanding of donors of color and the philanthropic landscape?
