State of the Union for Healthcare Philanthropy
Healthcare philanthropy is in a constant state of flux. AHP’s State of the Union series helps you make sense of the changes by addressing current events impacting the healthcare industry, philanthropy industry performance, and a rotating in-depth discussion of an emerging healthcare philanthropy trend.
This year's session focuses on the changing interests of donors, including:
-
Whether the number of donors is truly declining
-
Why philanthropy is more important than ever to hospital margins
-
What younger donors look for when choosing organizations to support
-
How to build strong relationships with the next generation of major donors

Overcoming the Competition for Connection through Radical Connection,
The number of Americans making charitable gifts has reached an all-time low and statistics indicate the percentages of people giving to charity annually could decline into the single digits within 49 years.
This presentation will discuss the changing definition of generosity, shedding light on the unprecedented competition for connection facing modern nonprofit organizations. To this end, nonprofits must develop a renewed appreciation for connection and learn to leverage technology once only used by for-profit organizations. Using current data and analysis, attendees will learn the importance of measuring and prioritizing connection as well as which technologies can help them to work smarter, not harder to help overcome the competition for connection.
