Coming Soon: Giving USA Editorial Board Perspectives

The much-anticipated release of Giving USA 2019 is Tuesday, June 18. Two Winkler Group principals are members of the Giving USA Editorial Review Board, so we will be ready with analysis and key takeaways.

Jessica Browning, principal and EVP, served as this year’s lead chapter reviewer for Giving to Foundations and chapter reviewer for Giving to Environment and Animals. Jim Bush, principal and president, was recently named to the Editorial Review Board. The Winkler Group is a member of the Giving Institute, publisher of Giving USA.

As we do each year, the Winkler Group will publish a series of key takeaways–the trends we see that will most impact our clients. We’ll look at the impact of tax reform, donor retention rates, mega gifts, and overall trends that are affecting each sector from education to religion.

Follow the Winkler Group, Jessica Browning, and Jim Bush on Twitter and LinkedIn and on our website for the most up-to-date analysis.
