Join us for two virtual conversations with leading thinkers about COVID-19's impact on philanthropy and where we go from here.

SESSION 1
Fundraising in an Economic Recession
June 16, 11 am Eastern

While we all hope that a prolonged recession can be avoided, we know as nonprofit leaders that it’s wise to plan for all possible scenarios. Hear from leading researchers about how giving was impacted in the 2008 recession — and what they recommend as we prepare for a similar scenario. We'll cover topics like:

• How different fundraising strategies fared in 2008, and how 2020 may differ
• The timing of the impact
• What we should be doing now to prepare for a recession, if it is prolonged

SESSION 2
Philanthropic Innovation After a Crisis
June 23, 11 am Eastern

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of foundations have already committed to doing grantmaking differently in the future. This conversation will explore what the future of philanthropy could look like, if what's best for nonprofits and the people they serve become the focus. We'll cover topics like:

• Trust-based philanthropy that focuses on multi-year general operating support;
• Participatory grantmaking and similar approaches; and
• New less restrictive models for grant writing, reporting, and oversight
