Giving USA numbers and beyond
Alford Group, Lipman Hearne and the Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility at Loyola University hosted a morning of coffee and conversation.
Who is giving in America today? How much? And why? We presented the latest insights and trends around philanthropy in America and discussed the research and personas of the new Megadonor Archetypes.
Bringing together philanthropists and experts from the private, social and academic sectors, we spent the morning building on the data and trends in the Giving USA 2018 report. We then shared and discussed the new research conducted by Lipman Hearne outlining five key donor profiles.
