from First Day Podcast Hosted by The Fund Raising School
Una Osili, Ph.D., Associate Dean at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, discusses research findings from a recent study on how donors make their giving decisions. The study aimed to understand the changes in giving decisions amidst the global pandemic, social justice movement, and economic uncertainty. The study emphasizes the importance of meeting donors where they are, particularly in the digital space, as many donors, especially younger ones, prefer digital giving methods and expect both convenience and frictionless experiences. The episode highlights the generosity of households and the opportunities for fundraisers to connect donors with causes and organizations, acknowledging the high expectations while recognizing donors’ active engagement and desire to make a difference.
