Trends in Family Philanthropy 2025 Report: Exploring the Main Findings

What does the family philanthropy landscape look like? How it has changed across the last decade, and what do those changes mean for the field?

Join us as we discuss the findings of the Trends in Family Philanthropy 2025 report.

We will explore:

• The changes in philanthropic focus for many family philanthropies
• How grantmaking practices are evolving, and whether community needs are coming to the fore
• How philanthropies are learning about new ideas and approaches
• The changes in family dynamics, shifts in how the next generation are being engaged, and the factors that sustain and impede family engagement
• Changes in the make-up of boards
• What the findings suggest about future trends

There will be time at the end of the session for Q&A.

About the Trends report

The Trends survey captures and tracks leading trends in the field of family philanthropy. Conducted every five years, this research identifies emerging issues, changes in funding priorities and governance practices, innovative approaches to giving and decision making, and anticipated future giving patterns and practices among US-based philanthropic families nationally. Ultimately, it aims to equip donors with data they can apply to their decision making.

Trends 2025 is the third iteration of the report and will be released in fall 2024. Learn more here.
