It’s that time again – Nia’s favorite episode of the year on data from Giving USA! It’s interesting to review this 2022 report and see the correlations that are happening in our immediate nonprofit worlds, but also the disparities. So much has changed and the future of giving looks kind of bleak, especially when you consider the impact of inflation.
In today’s episode, we’re taking a look back at what was happening in 2022, and reviewing the philanthropy data from Giving USA’s report. Plus, we share the implications and takeaways from the data, including a big middle finger to corporations. Yep, we said it.
If you’re a Patreon subscriber, you’ll get to see the video and slides that we shared from the episode as well, so this is your reminder to subscribe if you haven’t already.
