Welcome to BrainTrust Philanthropy Powered by ViTreo! Bringing you free flowing conversations with top leaders in fundraising, philanthropy, and the nonprofit sector so that you can become a bolder leader, build better relationships, and raise more money.

We were joined by Andrea McManus, Co-Founder and Senior Counsel at ViTreo Group; Michael Nilsen, Vice President, Marketing, Communication and Public Policy at AFP Global; and Wayne Steer, Director of Fund Development at Fresh Start Recovery Centre.

The Topic: Is All Philanthropy Good Philanthropy? Fundraising Ethics in Life, in Work, and in Our Sector

SOME OF WHAT YOU WILL HEAR:

  • The disparity between the ultra-wealthy and the poor

  • Why are most billionaires and, especially their giving, so reviled? And is this fair?

  • Are we focused too much on the needs of our donors?

  • All this and so much more!
