We're excited to see Aperio Senior Director Katherine Tuider speak at the AIP Conference on Philanthropy 2024. Katherine will join Erinn Andrews, Founder & CEO of GiveTeam, to discuss the value of, and concerns about, donor-advised funds: "Analyzing DAFs: Considering both Donor and Nonprofit Perspectives" In the last 10-15 years, Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) have surged in popularity, sparking both excitement and concern. In this session, we will look at the latest research on DAFs, evaluating why they have become such a popular giving vehicle option for individual donors, especially as compared to private foundations. We will analyze DAFs according to age demographics, giving account sizes, types of assets donated, anonymity, and payout rates. We will highlight controversies and concerns over the popular vehicle. Participants will additionally learn about three DAF donor archetypes to understand the different ways donors are using their accounts to enact their charitable priorities, adding nuance to the discussion, especially in the context of possible new DAF regulations.

Join us at next week's free, virtual Aperio book club meeting! Even if you don't have time to read the book, you'll benefit from rich conversation on a topic we all experience as nonprofit leaders and fundraisers: burnout. In "Fundraising Without Burnout", Radha Friedman, a philanthropic advisor with decades of experience funding nonprofits around the world, offers a frank and witty critique of how the “best practices” we’ve been taught are actually sabotaging our fundraising efforts. By debunking the myths that keep inequitable practices in place, Radha provides solutions that help nonprofit leaders redefine their purpose, prevent burnout, and meet their fundraising goals while reclaiming their peace. #fundraisingwithoutburnout #fundraising #nonprofitfundraising #fearlessfundraisers #philanthropy #nonprofits #bookclub #virtualbookclub

We know you're feeling it too: Elections affect us all—including all our fundraising programs. Some donors shift resources to campaigns; others invest more deeply in issue areas. As fundraisers, we face more noise in telling our stories and sparking conversations. We also have an opportunity to spotlight the relevancy of our missions and develop meaningful partnerships with donors. This Thursday, join us as we convene a panel of experienced leaders to discuss how to approach fundraising in this election season: What can we learn from past elections? How could the upcoming election affect the year-end giving season that follows? What strategies and tactics can fundraising teams use to elevate their work in a noisy environment? What should every organization be doing right now to prepare?

We're thrilled to announce the panelists for the next event in our (free, virtual) series, 'Building fundraising resiliency: Diversifying revenue', hosted in partnership with NYU SPS George H. Heyman Jr. Program for Fundraising and Philanthropy: Moderator:  Cassy Cox (she/her), Senior Director, Institutional Partnerships - Accion   Panelists: Abigail Farris Rogers (she/her), EVP, Chief Development Officer – YMCA of the USA Cortney Nicolato, MS (she/her), President and CEO – United Way of Rhode Island  Tunde Wackman (she/her), Chief Development Officer – World Central Kitchen About the event: Revenue diversification is top-of-mind for nonprofit leaders. It’s natural for organizations to gravitate to a small number of revenue sources, such as events, grants, or a small number of big donors. But, as many organizations have experienced recently, it’s also risky. How can diversification create fundraising resiliency? How do we build new revenue streams, particularly on a base of a robust events program? How do you avoid spreading your team too thin? Sign up to reserve your spot and explore these questions with us—and invite your colleagues to do the same!
