After months of collaboration with the dynamic team at Geneva Global, we are DELIGHTED to announce our new white paper. This is a great read for philanthropic individuals and families, foundation leaders, board members and nonprofit leaders.
This research explores the untapped potential of what we're calling the 'meaningful middle' of philanthropy—a diverse set of donors giving between $1 million and $25 million annually. We attempted to define these often-underrepresented donors while highlighting the valuable and unique role they play, the challenges they face, and the various strategies and structures they can employ to maximize their impact.
Managing wealth and charitable giving is complex and challenging. Most meaningful middle donors are operating with 0–5 staff, lack of internal systems and isolation from “professional” philanthropic networks make giving back harder than it should be. There is no ‘right way’ to thrive as a Meaningful Middle donor—but there are existing strategies. On the flip side, megadonors are often inaccessible to nonprofits and vice versa: 75% of US charitable giving comes from individuals and yet, most organizations can’t identify or access megadonors...the meaningful middle is indeed needed and meaningful.
A HUGE thank you to Nathaniel Heller, Sherry Todd-Green and the rest of the Geneva Global team for your partnership and collaboration!!
