Report from Indiana University researchers addresses need to 'grow philanthropy'

A new report by Indiana University faculty members evaluates the state of philanthropy and sets forth recommendations for increasing giving with measures that include improving relationships with donors, strengthening public awareness and reaching new audiences.

The report, Growing Philanthropy in the United States, was released Oct. 28. It addresses the fact that philanthropic giving in the United States has remained static for decades, despite the best efforts of fundraising professionals and nonprofit organizations.
