Our local meetings provide a forum to share expertise, ideas and knowledge. In addition, our programs offer our members and the community timely information about giving trends, financial strategies, donor behaviors and marketing.
Join the Lone Star Council of Charitable Gift Planners for an enlightening and entertaining session with Melissa S. Brown that will help focus your work with estate and gift planning, target donors, volunteers and staff members from different generations.
Our demographics are changing. Approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers are turning 65 every day between now and 2030. Millennials will be the largest proportion of any generation in the U.S. workforce by 2025. They also are the most ethnically diverse group. In between these two large groups are the GenXers who, in middle age, often get ignored. These demographic shifts are bringing significant changes to our society and to our culture, including to philanthropy and our nonprofit sector. Younger generations have different attitudes about giving, attitudes that nonprofits need to consider when developing fundraising strategies.
1. What do these shifts mean for how we recruit and manage board members and staff?Keynote speaker Melissa S. Brown is a nationally known speaker, researcher, and fundraising expert, manages the Nonprofit Research Collaborative, a twice-annual survey to assess what works in fundraising. She is also a past editor of Giving USA and is a past editor of Giving USA and has facilitated courses at Indiana University's Fundraising School.
