For the savvy fundraisers who have learned how to capture their attention and garner their support, this can be a boon. But, how else are these megadonors changing the face of fundraising? To find out, we’ve brought together a panel of experts to discuss trends in big giving and discover how smart nonprofits are attracting some of the biggest gifts in their histories. They will address some of the primary questions surrounding megadonors in particular and fundraising in general:
- What should fundraisers know about the growing class of megadonors?
