SUMMARY:How Affluent Households Are Changing Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Today’s affluent donors are increasingly sophisticated in their approach to giving. Beyond traditional giving\, they use a variety of strategies to achieve their philanthropic goals. There is increasing use of giving vehicles such as donor advised funds. Today’s philanthropists are more likely to measure the impact of their giving when compared with other donors. \nThe future of affluent American philanthropy shows great promise. However\, it is important to understand how these donors are making their giving decisions\, particularly with respect to the next generation of philanthropists. In the face of economic uncertainty and evolving social challenges\, it will be more important that nonprofit fundraisers tailor their practices to current realities. \nJoin us for this in-depth exploration of the 2025 Bank of America’s Study of Philanthropy: Charitable Giving by Affluent Households. Learn how you can adapt your fundraising strategies to tap into this essential donor base.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Cost of ‘Free’ Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers are often seen as a “free” resource\, but anyone who manages a volunteer program knows that is far from the full story. Behind every successful volunteer initiative lies a range of hidden investments: staff time for recruitment and supervision\, consultants\, training materials\, workspace\, technology platforms\, insurance\, and more. These costs often go unrecognized\, underfunded\, or absorbed by already-stretched nonprofit teams. \nIn this eye-opening workshop\, we will break down the true cost of volunteer engagement and show you how to quantify the financial and operational resources your program really requires. You will learn to apply a cost calculation formula that translates hidden inputs into clear numbers\, giving you a powerful tool to advocate for adequate funding\, justify budget lines\, and communicate your program’s value to internal and external stakeholders. \nWhether you are a volunteer manager\, program coordinator\, or development professional\, you will leave with: \n\nA practical cost-calculation worksheet you can adapt for your own program\nReal-world examples to guide your estimates\nStrategies to build a stronger case for investment in volunteer infrastructure\nRenewed confidence to shift the narrative around volunteerism from “free help” to “strategic resource”\n\nLet us stop hiding the cost and start showing the value. \nMEET THE PRESENTER\nBrooke Campbell is Director of Community Outreach and Disaster Recovery for United Way of Greater Houston. She has more than 18 years of experience helping organizations strengthen communities through volunteer engagement\, program innovation\, and disaster recovery partnerships. She is a Certified Volunteer Administrator (CVA). Brooke was formerly Director of Volunteer Houston\, and held various roles with Boy Scouts of America.
