What are the latest trends in philanthropy and what does this mean for colleges and universities? What attitudes do donors to higher education bring to their philanthropy? How is your organization approaching the continued decline in mass giving? How are transformative gifts defined and secured? This session will feature data collected by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) in their philanthropy and alumni engagement surveys, while pulling in other trends in donor behavior tracked by Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Giving USA, and Bank of America. Participants will learn about 1) recent trends in giving and alumni engagement to higher education; 2) changing trends in donor behavior; and 3) how transformative gifts are defined and secured.
