Episode 19 – Charitable Giving Trends from 2024

Our very own Senior Project Consultant Rose Johnson returns with TCG President Amanda Lopez to provide expert insights on charitable giving trends and how your nonprofit can use them to its advantage in 2025.

Rose and Amanda discuss the latest Giving USA Report – covering charitable giving trends from 2024 – and share helpful transformer tips to build up diversified funding streams for your nonprofit organization!

Key Takeaways in Episode 19:

  • Inflation may have increased in 2024 but individual giving remained strong, which is expected to continue in 2025
  • Never underestimate the power of the “Engine of Individual Donors”
  • Stretch your funding streams beyond grants and corporate gifts to avoid instability – strengthen your individual giving program for financial stability
  • Don’t make assumptions or decisions for your donors
  • Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) should be on your radar if they aren’t already
  • Use the Giving USA 2024 report and compare funding streams mentioned to your organization’s funding streams
