Current Philanthropic Trends for Gardens and Arboreta
Session will provide specific, relevant baseline data for fundraising and membership programs. In an ever more competitive market for philanthropic dollars, in a challenging economic environment, it is essential that the leaders of our gardens and arboreta have up-to-date information in order to plan for the future, set realistic fundraising goals, and educate donors, staff and trustees on giving potential and trends for long-term institutional health.

The End of Philanthropy’s Golden Age? Philanthropic Strategy in the Deleveraging Era
This session raises the unhappy—and currently contrarian—viewpoint that fundraising to higher education may significantly decline over the coming years as a result of broader transformations to the U.S. and global economies. The presenter, Darrow Zeidenstein, Vice President for Resource Development, Rice University, will first make the primarily macroeconomic case for declining philanthropy based on household deleveraging and the decline of wealth production in the U.S. and overseas economies. Assuming the worst-case scenario is true, find out how fundraising executives should adjust their fundraising strategy for a new fundraising environment.
Time: 8:45 - 10:00 am, Friday, July 10
