There’s a sea change underway in giving and volunteerism

In September, the Generosity Commission released a report on downward trends in giving and volunteerism, what is at stake for society when volunteers and givers stay home, and steps that community members, policymakers, and nonprofit leaders can take to alter that reality.

We’re excited to kick off this year’s conference with a virtual opening session featuring one of the co-chairs of the Generosity Commission and vice president of the Aspen Institute, Jane Wales. She’ll give us the big picture perspective and how the recommendations of the Commission might play out in a volatile year.

You can also join us as we carry the conversation forward to our in-person Leadership Breakfast, focused on how Quad Cities arts and culture organizations are adapting to these trends. They will share their observations, discuss how today’s political climate may have an impact, and how they are adapting to find stability despite the crosscurrents.
