At the Community Foundation, we are committed to fostering transparency and accountability to earn your confidence. 📖 Read More About the Importance of Trust in Charitable Giving in Grace’s Blog:https://bit.ly/4i1w1UH

Over the last decade, the most striking trend to emerge from generosity research has been the decline in the number of American households giving to charitable organizations. Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy Panel Study found that the share of U.S. households who donate to charity has fallen steadily. In 2000, 66.22% of households gave to charities; in 2018 that number dropped to 49.6% Learn more insights from our recent landscape analysis: https://lnkd.in/gPpy5S_K 

“You see, the premise is all wrong. Nonprofits mistakenly think that the student, homeless, rainforest, family, etc. are their customers. Your clients or causes are not customers…they got no money. Successful nonprofits understand that donors are the object of their mission, and must be served before people in need.” -Jimmy LaRose #fundraising #nonprofit #philanthropy #NonprofitExecutiveTraining #NANOECertification #FundraisingExpert #ContinuingEducation
