The Outlook for Foundation Giving in 2008
Insights on Funding in the Current Economic Environment
Presented by the Foundation Center and co-sponsored by the New York Regional Association of Grantmakers (NYRAG)
When: Thursday, May 15, 2008, 2:00-3:00 pm Eastern Time
Program description
Join us from the comfort of your own office to hear the latest perspective on how grantmaking foundations are being affected by current trends in the U.S. economy and how foundation giving might fare. Steven Lawrence, senior director of research at the Foundation Center, will present findings from the Foundation Center's new report, Foundation Growth and Giving Estimates: Current Outlook, and address the following topics:
- Did foundation giving falter as the economy began to slow in 2007?
- Given a weak economic climate, what is the outlook for foundation giving in 2008?
- What do prior downturns suggest about the current funding environment?
The webinar will conclude with a question-and-answer segment.
How it works:
The webinar includes an audio and a visual presentation, and to attend you need a touch-tone telephone and at least a 56 Kbps modem Internet connection, although DSL, cable, or a better connection is recommended. It is delivered live and is interactive, allowing attendees to participate in polls, chat with presenters, and to ask questions. The webinar also lends itself to group viewing, best conducted with a projector system and a speaker-phone. Event instructions and handouts will be e-mailed to all registrants and a quick link to the webinar, teleconference details, and handouts will also be placed at this program registration page prior to the event.
