About this event
On Mid-June, Giving USA will release the 2025 edition of its Annual Report on Philanthropy in America. This invaluable resource examines the sources and uses of charitable giving in the U.S. for the year 2024 and provides key data to help nonprofit organizations formulate effective fundraising strategies, approaches and activities.
Join us for this virtual Lunch & Learn with Cassie Carter, Vice President, Fundraising at Campbell & Company. During this session, Cassie will make meaning of the 2025 Giving USA report and share her insights on emerging philanthropic trends and their implications for your organization and the community.
