The state of generosity: What nonprofits need to know before GivingTuesday

As GivingTuesday and year-end fundraising approach, it's easy to get pulled into campaign logistics and lose sight of the bigger picture. This live conversation steps back to explore the trends actually shaping generosity today, and what they mean for your organization's long-term success. Join Asha Curran, CEO of GivingTuesday, in conversation with David DeParolesa, CEO of Give Lively, for a candid discussion on donor behavior, community engagement, and the future of philanthropy. Rather than another tactical how-to, this is a chance to hear directly from one of the sector's most trusted voices on what's really changing, and why participation, trust, and community matter just as much as the dollars raised.

About this webinar

Although a baseline civil rights requirement, accessibility is one of the most overlooked assets in nonprofit fundraising. And yet, nonprofits that build accessible events, digital properties and work culture reach more donors, serve more communities and reduce legal risk.

Join Give Lively, accessibility consultant Robin Troutman and Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington's Nick Farano for a session on practical accessibility for nonprofits. You'll also learn how Give Lively approaches accessibility across its own platform.

We talk about how

Accessibility is a civil right and a fundraising opportunity

Accessibility best practices are applied to in-person events and digital experiences

A culture of dignified engagement and proactive accommodation is built

Give Lively approaches accessibility
