Kudos to AFP - Greater AZ Chapter, The Phoenix Philanthropy Group and all of the panelists for an excellent discussion about the state of giving in 2023 and beyond! I was excited to hear the news that philanthropic support increased in 2023 after a decline in 2022, due in large part to mega-gifts. One important note: giving did not outpace inflation. While total dollars donated increased by 1.9%, giving actually decreased by 2.1% when adjusted for inflation. Nonprofits, keep in mind the average donor is still feeling the pinch from soaring prices when planning your campaigns. A takeaway for me from the panel discussion is the need for more advocacy and lobbying to instigate the change, raise awareness and mobilize support.
