The Evolving Landscape of Community Giving

This week Jeff Conn, Co-CEO of NPact, and Gabe Cooper, CEO of Virtuous, join the conversation to discuss the evolving landscape of community-based giving, particularly focusing on the rise and significance of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) and the role of community foundations. Historically, community foundations have played a key role in philanthropy but are now facing challenges and competition from commercial DAF providers. What can we learn from the rise of donor-advised funds to create more hyper-personal donor experiences and draw people into a bigger story about their impact?

In the discussion, we explored:

• The challenges currently facing community foundations


• The rise of the donor-advised fund


• How technology can enhance donor experiences


• Strategies to meet the expectations of the modern donor
