11 Trends in Philanthropy for 2024

A conversation about sector trends and how they’re impacting your work

11 Trends in Philanthropy for 2024, the Johnson Center’s eighth annual trends report, aims to help practitioners anticipate and embrace what’s next.

This year’s trends share a wealth of examples, data, quotes, and research publications that aim to help you and your networks look to the future of our field. But at the core of the 2024 report, readers will find a set of questions rather than answers. Each trend poses moral, economic, equity-related, tactical, and other questions that the sector will have to answer as we continue to work for the public good.

Join a panel of field experts for an engaging exploration of this year’s trends in philanthropy and their relevance to the daily work of nonprofits, foundations, donors, advisors, community members, and others.

• Learn about specific key trends shaping — and being shaped by — philanthropy practitioners and colleagues in other sectors.
• Discover how to use the Trends report to engage your stakeholders, including staff, boards, students, and community members.
• Consider the broad themes and macro-level forces that are driving the field as a whole – including this year’s trends.

Panelists:

• Don Chen – President, Surdna Foundation
• Stacy Palmer – Chief Executive, The Chronicle of Philanthropy
• Akilah Watkins – President and CEO, Independent Sector

Moderator: Lesley D. Slavitt – Executive Director, Johnson Center for Philanthropy
