Summary: The world of philanthropy is changing by the day right now. From the pandemic to artificial intelligence, to the dramatic increase in giving through Donor Advised Funds (DAF), and even the gamification of giving. So much is changing so quickly. But one thing is clear…donors continue to dictate the terms. With so much changing, I was thrilled to sit down with my friend, Paul D’Alessandro, Founder of High Impact Nonprofit Advisors, and author of the brand new book, The Future of Fundraising: How Philanthropy’s Future is Here with Donors Dictating the Terms. Paul wrote this book after a lengthy and successful career in philanthropy where he’s met with more than 4,000 individual high net worth donors and raised more than $1 Billion for charitable causes! You’ll want to check out this conversation that covers so many important topics, including: How Artificial Intelligence is impacting fundraising, and what that means for the future of the individual fundraiser The positives and negatives of donor advised funds, and what this giving vehicle holds for the future of our industry How platforms like Twitch and others impacting fundraising, and what that means for donor engagement and nonprofit revenue generation in the future The emerging risks to donor privacy and how that could negatively impact giving in the future The dirty secrets of fundraiser compensation
