Philanthropy has always been a senior’s game – old money, traditional ideas, worn out game plans. Today, there is a new generation of technophilanthropists joining the scene and shaking the world of nonprofits to its core. They’re young, smart, loaded and tech savvy. They are the new sugar daddies to charities.
These young, rich technophiles make decisions based upon data and social connections, which leaves most charities scratching their heads. They’re looking for data…lots of it; analytics and impact before they invest the $316 billion dollars annually given to charities.
It’s a new day in nonprofit funding and platforms that we are using on a daily basis are now being creatively intertwined to build a solution that will change the game for every stakeholder in the nonprofit world…and the future for us all.
