The state of charitable giving has a profound impact on hundreds of nonprofit organizations throughout Central Ohio, ranging from mighty arts, healthcare, and higher education institutions to local civic clubs and direct service providers. Trends in giving affect all of them — from the decline of giving among "everyday households," increasing dependence on high-net-worth donors, trends in corporate giving, and the rise of donor advised funds, this dynamic sector represents more than 12% of Ohio's workforce – about as many as are employed in manufacturing. Following the June 25 release of Giving USA's annual report, we host a landmark conversation diving into the state and future of charitable giving.  Featuring: Erika Gable, President, Association of Fundraising Professionals, Central Ohio Chapter Rachel Lustig, CEO, Lutheran Social Services Dr. Una Osili, Associate Dean for Research and International Programs, Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, who also provides opening remarks.  The host is Laura MacDonald, Principal & Founder, Benefactor Group Opening remarks by Dan Sharpe, Vice President for Community Research and Grants Management, The Columbus Foundation.
