Question of the Day! Alford Group Booth
Each day of the conference, we posed a key question to the audience at our booth. Meant to get your gears turning, there was no right or wrong answer. Fundraising leaders from around the region stopped by to cast their vote for: “Restricted or Unrestricted?” and “Stories or stats?” At the end of the conference, we tallied the votes, compiled all of your comments, and are sharing it here with you!

The Future of Philanthropy: The Intersection of race, gender and giving
Thursday, June 6, 2019 | 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
The demographics of our nation are becoming more and more diverse. As a sector, we must crack the code to diversifying the philanthropic donor base. The IUPUI Lilly Family School of Philanthropy released a new report called Women Give 2019: Gender and Giving Across Communities of Color. This study examines the giving patterns, priorities, and attitudes of America’s wealthiest households and, in particular, explores the intersection of race, gender and giving. Brenda B. Asare walked us through the latest findings from the report and our expert panelists discussed what it means for the future of philanthropy.
