 The face of philanthropy is changing and donor relations must stay ahead of the curve to meet that change (especially considering the conversations that are happening right now on many of our college campuses). According to the US Census, America will be a majority-minority country by 2042, which isn't as far off as it might seem. We cannot remain as we have been, nor can we conduct donor relations in the same way if we are to rise to the challenge. Learn about how our changing population impacts donor relations, and gain tools to be able to navigate relationships with an increasingly diverse donor pool.
