5. 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

6. Stop
Fundraising

7. Start

8. 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

10. 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.

12. 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.

13. CAF AMERICA AND THE SDGs
Our clients have diverse interests, enabling CAF America to support
all of the goals around the world

14. Monitoring the SDGs’ Progress

15. 24/7 Campaigns

16. 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

18. 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.)

19. The greater universe of potential lies in the vast number of supporters who can be inspired and referred by current donors @tedhart
