A January National Review article declared “Middle-Class Philanthropy Is Collapsing,” but is that really the case? The number of donors might be declining, but gift amounts are increasing. So, is it a decline in donors or of small-dollar donations?
 
In this episode of the Go Beyond Fundraising Podcast, we’re taking a deeper look at this claim through the trends that are driving donor giving. Our experts are also sharing tactics to attract, retain, and re-engage donors through storytelling, personal connections, and transparency.

Is a “Collapse” in Middle-Class Donors Happening?

Myoshin and other members of the Tergar community traveled to Nepal and Tibet as a part of a larger pilgrimage focused around exploring the feminine within Himalayan Buddhism. They traveled to visit a number of female teachers, and visited sites where female practitioners have practiced. Myoshin and three of the other pilgrims from Minneapolis share their journey through photos, reflections, and stories of their time.

Special thanks to The Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism, which provided partial funding for the planning phase of the pilgrimage.

What do the feminine qualities have to offer? We all have feminine qualities within us, and they often go unappreciated and underdeveloped. Yet they are the very qualities that can help us to find balance in the world we live in. During this public talk we will look at how the feminine is spoken of within Tibetan Buddhism and what it could mean to invite the feminine into our life.
