Celebrating Philanthropy: Rethinking Fundraising and Exploring Emerging Trends
In this episode of From Our Vantage Point, Vantage Point CEO, Zahra Esmail is joined by Alex Wilson, the Senior Director of Philanthropy and Campaigns at Big Sisters BC Lower Mainland, and the VP of Community Engagement and Board Director of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Greater Vancouver Chapter. Their conversation revolves around the evolving landscape of philanthropy, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the challenges and opportunities facing the nonprofit sector.
Zahra and Alex discuss key trends in philanthropy, with Alex highlighting the significant digitalization of fundraising efforts and a trend towards major giving strategies, an emphasis on DEI efforts in philanthropy and some predictions for the future of philanthropy, including the rise of donor-advised funds (DAFs), the importance of planned giving, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on fundraising practices.
Vantage Point is proud to support and celebrate the upcoming National Philanthropy Day and the Giving Hearts Awards hosted by AFP Greater Vancouver Chapter, which recognize the contributions of individuals and organizations in the philanthropic community. We hope you will join us at this event for a moment to come together, share successes, and inspire one another in our collective mission to serve our communities.
