Stay Ahead of the Curve: Discover What’s Next in Philanthropy

To lead with purpose—whether you're an executive, donor, or fundraising professional—you need more than instinct. You need insight. And there’s no better resource than Giving USA: The Annual Report on Philanthropy to understand the forces shaping charitable giving today.

Join us for a powerful, data-driven conversation with Dr. Una Osili, a globally recognized expert on philanthropy and innovation. She’ll break down the key findings of the 2024 Giving USA report and explore what the numbers really mean for your strategies, your donors, and your mission. Looking ahead, Dr. Osili will also share predictions for 2025—offering valuable insight into what’s on the horizon for the philanthropic landscape.

This signature program is your opportunity to:
✔️ Understand how giving trends are evolving
✔️ Gain strategic insights grounded in real data
✔️ Prepare for what’s next in the philanthropic landscape

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Osili to Kansas City for this special event. As Associate Dean for Research and International Programs at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy—and a leading voice in global giving—she brings a rare depth of knowledge and perspective.

Philanthropy doesn’t stand still—and neither should your approach. Don’t miss this chance to get ahead of the curve.
