Strategy Lab: Responding to the Trends Reshaping Philanthropy
8:30 AM - 9:30 AM PT
Speaker(s): Cara Giacomini, Vice President, Data, Research, and Technology, Council for Advancement and Support of Education, Nick Campisi, Director of Data Science, Council for Advancement and Support of Education
Elective Session
This strategy lab led by Cara Giacomini and Nick Campisi brings advancement leaders into facilitated discussion around a small set of philanthropic trends that are showing up across the sector—such as “more dollars, fewer donors,” shifting expectations for impact, changing donor roles across the giving spectrum, and growth in bequests and unexpected gifts. Participants will use these signals to compare approaches, pressure-test assumptions, and leave with practical ideas to adapt at their own institutions.
