Today, our episode of The Philanthropy Podcast is a solo episode where I'll share some analysis on the Giving USA 2017 Report. Every year The Giving Institute, in conjunction with the Indiana University's Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, produce a report on trends in giving in the United States. I'll share my insights from the parts of the report I've seen and a seminar I attended which reviewed this data. If you have questions about data contained in Giving USA 2017, please feel welcome to share them in the new Philanthropy Podcast Linkedin Group, on our Facebook page, or on twitter where I'm @PhilanthropyPod.
