As Good as It Gives: America's Philanthropy Today 

The Alford Group and the Chicago Architecture Foundation invite you to join us for a morning of coffee and conversation.

Who is giving in America today? How much? And why? We will present the latest insights and trends around philanthropy in America, as well as lay out and discuss the most effective strategies to engage the next generation of donors.

Bringing together philanthropists and experts from the private, social and academic sectors, we will spend the morning building on the data and trends in the Giving USA 2017 report.  We will share context and counsel to inform the way leading organizations seek philanthropic support in the coming year.
