Giving USA 2019 presentation and a celebration of Alford Group’s 40 years of impact
We loved co-hosting this event with William Blair, a wonderful celebration of Alford Group’s 40 years of impact.
Bringing together philanthropists and experts from all sectors, we presented the latest insights and trends around philanthropy in America based on the data in the newly released Giving USA 2019 report. We then heard from our expert panel on how to differentiate your organization and best articulate your philanthropic value proposition, followed by a robust Q&A session with the audience.
