Who is Giving? Who is Getting? Giving Trends in the Pandemic Era

In the period between the Great Recession and the Pandemic, more money was given in America—but by far fewer donors. As many as 20-million everyday donors dropped out of giving. How concerned should we be if the longtime American tradition of giving becomes the sole province of the ultra-wealthy?

The Generosity Commission, a project of the Giving Institute, asked the question of how these recent trends have impacted community-based and social service organizations across the US. A research consortium of the Urban Institute, American University, and George Mason University took the challenge and launched Nonprofit Trends and Impact, a nationally representative, long-term panel study, offering fresh data with some good news and some concerning.

At the same time, Una Osili of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy led a groundbreaking study, Everyday Donors of Color, exploring the motivations and practices of donors of color.

Join the  (PSI) in partnership with the Generosity Commission for a virtual discussion highlighting this new research which surfaces important findings on the nonprofit sector and philanthropy across diverse communities in the United States.
