5 Predictions for Philanthropy’s Future It’s not about the charity’s mission, it’s about the donor It’s not about deadlines, it’s about strategy It’s not just how much you give, it’s finding the niche It’s not the charities who are campaigning, it’s our friends, it’s our families. We are the campaign 5. It’s not just our neighborhood, it’s our world
Stop Fundraising
Start Inspiring Action
YouPhilanthropy The charity is no longer at the center of philanthropy: the donor is central. Understand this and succeed beyond your competition Donors know what they care about and what they want to achieve Charities need to help get them there Donors are becoming directly involved with their philanthropy Donors want to see their dollar at work and will reward the charities that show them their impact
Donor Advised Funds How it works: There are now over 269,000 DAFs, with combined assets of over $78 billion. Donors can now give where they want, when they want December 31st no longer needs to be the driving force behind donors’ decisions – DAFs make space for a more personalized approach to philanthropy.
Data-Driven Philanthropy Data collection and analysis can: Avoid overfunding certain causes Avert duplicative efforts Identify niche areas for strategic interventions The major focus of data-driven philanthropy has led to the Sustainable Development Goals Philanthropy Patform.
CAF AMERICA AND THE SDGs Our clients have diverse interests, enabling CAF America to support all of the goals around the world
Monitoring the SDGs’ Progress
24/7 Campaigns
24/7 Campaigns Social media and other modern technologies have made fundraising perennial: it never stops Charities have to be ready all times for unexpected surges in donations Charities need to leverage inspiration to arrive at concrete funding solutions Example: ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Source: https://blogs-images.forbes.com/matthewherper/files/2014/08/boston-e1408567034546-1940x1091.jpg
Global is Local, Local is Global Mass media brings images of global issues into our homes, growing the pool of potential donors. Giving for disaster response can be extremely effective, anywhere on the planet. Diaspora communities can be effective donors for cross-border giving (DGB, etc.)
The greater universe of potential lies in the vast number of supporters who can be inspired and referred by current donors @tedhart
