Ongoing conversations about philanthropy can maximize the impact of charitable giving and keep family values alive for future generations.

This month’s article, the third by Eric Nonacs and Ehren Reed concerning major trends in philanthropy, asks a critical and timely question: In difficult times, how can a philanthropist remain optimistic and engaged, while also being realistic?

Rebecca Moffett, president of Vanguard Charitable, tells Worth how she and her team help their donors support the causes they care about.

The term “next-gen giving” represents a cultural shift toward a more involved form of philanthropy, one that extends beyond charitable donation and demands greater awareness and accountability for everyday actions.

This month’s article, the second in Eric Nonacs and Ehren Reed’s philanthropy series, focuses on the question of how individuals and organizations can adopt more transparent practices, build trust-based relationships and open up their decision making in an effort to democratize their giving.

Being an effective philanthropist in today’s world means acknowledging that different kinds of challenges require a multiplicity of approaches and a willingness to abandon the quest for certainty and definitiveness. So, how can today’s philanthropists come to terms with this complexity, while not being daunted into inaction.
