Philanthropy is undergoing a transformative shift. In 2024, we witnessed a surge in donor-advised funds, a rise in mega-gifts from fewer donors, and a growing emphasis on unrestricted, trust-based giving. Corporate giving also saw a notable increase, with a five-year growth rate of 14.3%. At SVP Tucson, we're not just observing these trends, we're actively shaping them: - Trust-Based Philanthropy: We prioritize unrestricted funding, empowering nonprofits to allocate resources where needed most. - Whole Family Approach: Our initiatives address the needs of both children and their caregivers, fostering long-term, systemic change. - Collaborative Giving: Through initiatives like our Fast Pitch program, we've facilitated over $287,000 in funding for local nonprofits, demonstrating the power of community-driven philanthropy.
