An excellent source of data about charitable giving in the nation for more than 60 years, the Giving USA Report tracks estimates of what was given by four different types of donors—individuals, foundations, estates (bequests), and corporations.
We’re excited to announce that Una O. Osili, Ph.D., the lead researcher of the Giving USA data, will join us again to share the latest results!
Dr. Osili is the Associate Dean for Research and International Programs at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University, a leading academic institution dedicated to increasing the understanding of philanthropy and improving its practice worldwide. The production and release of Giving USA is the result of collaborative efforts of Giving USA Foundation™, a public service initiative of The Giving Institute, and The Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
Following Dr. Osili’s presentation will be a moderated discussion mirroring the report—focusing on central Ohio philanthropy—featuring perspectives and insights from corporations, individuals, nonprofits, and funders.
Thursday, June 20 | 3:30-5:00 p.m.
