As the economy remains in flux, philanthropic efforts and giving from individuals and corporations figure to take on different looks and forms than before the coronavirus swept across America. How will donors' behaviors change as the pandemic continues? How will philanthropy look across different economic classes and races? How will charitable funds be handled and distributed? Will international philanthropy be adversely affected? How will giving trends now translate to the next pandemic or disaster? Please join us as expert Bill Stanczykiewicz from Indiana University’s Fundraising School addresses today’s fundraising needs and helps us prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities using practical tools, innovative strategies and ethical practices. Serving as assistant dean for external relations, Bill Stanczykiewicz oversees communications and fundraising for the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy while directing The Fund Raising School. Bill also serves as a core faculty member, teaching graduate and bachelor’s level courses on philanthropy, fundraising, and leadership. Bill’s professional career spans the philanthropic, public, and private sectors. He served for 17 years as President & CEO of the Indiana Youth Institute, a statewide nonprofit devoted to healthy youth development and academic achievement.
