Where in the World Are We Headed?

High-worth donors will have blossomed, but they will be calling the shots. Mega donations may be more of the norm in developed economies than has been since the millennium, but they will be highly demanding and expect a seat at the board table.”
— Mark Astarita, director of fundraising, British Red Cross
