Online Discussion Next Week: The Recession’s Toll on Charitable Giving

Join us on the day Giving USA’s latest findings are released — Wednesday, June 10, at noon Eastern time — for a live, online discussion on the results and what they mean for your organization.

Published annually since 1956 by the Giving USA Foundation and written and researched at Indiana University’s Center on Philanthropy, Giving USA offers one of the most authoritative benchmarks of American philanthropy.

Among the questions the report’s authors and other top fund raisers will explore: What happened to different types of charitable causes in 2008 — and what does that mean for 2009 and beyond? What are some organizations doing to respond to the current economic challenges?

The Chronicle’s online discussions are free and open to everyone. People who ask questions in advance have a better chance of getting answers.
