SUMMARY:Orr Group TALKS: The Impact of MacKenzie Scott’s Transformational Giving
DESCRIPTION:With the release of the third and final report in the Center for Effective Philanthropy’s (CEP) three-year study\, “Breaking the Mold: The Transformative Effect of MacKenzie Scott’s Big Gifts“\, we now have a comprehensive look at the impact of MacKenzie Scott’s transformational philanthropy. While these large\, unrestricted gifts have created unprecedented opportunities for nonprofits\, many organizations continue to face challenges in sustaining their impact. At the same time\, Scott’s approach has sparked new conversations about how nonprofits can best leverage significant funding—and what funders can take away from this model to maximize impact. \nJoin us for our next Orr Group TALKS to explore the findings from this landmark study and discuss what’s next for funders and nonprofits navigating large-scale\, unrestricted giving. We will be joined by Elisha Smith Arrillaga\, Ph.D.\, Vice President\, Research at CEP and Orr Group’s Amanda Nelson\, Managing Director to examine a range of topics\, including nonprofit sustainability\, fundraising strategy\, governance\, and the implications for the broader philanthropic sector. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear from sector experts on the evolving landscape of transformational giving. \nKEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nUnderstand the key findings from CEP’s final report on MacKenzie Scott’s giving.\nExplore the challenges and opportunities nonprofits face after receiving large\, unrestricted gifts.\nGain insights into how funders can maximize the impact of their giving strategies.\n\nWHO SHOULD WATCH: \n\nNonprofit executives and board members.\nFunders and philanthropic leaders.\nDevelopment and finance professionals managing major\, unrestricted gifts.\n\n\nSPEAKERS: \n\n \nElisha Smith Arrillaga\, Ph.D.\nVice President\, Research·Center for Effective Philanthropy \n\nElisha Smith Arrillaga\, Ph.D. manages CEP’s Research team\, leading the creation\, development\, analysis\, and release of various research projects and initiatives relevant to the philanthropic sector’s most pressing issues.
