IU experts available to comment on impact of COVID-19 pandemic on giving, philanthropy
April 21, 2020
INDIANAPOLIS and BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- As unemployment continues to rise and the economy remains in flux, philanthropic efforts and giving from individuals and corporations figure to take on different looks and forms than before the coronavirus swept across America. How will donors' behaviors change as the pandemic continues? How will philanthropy look across different economic classes and races? How will charitable funds be handled and distributed? Will international philanthropy be adversely affected? How will giving trends now translate to the next pandemic or disaster? Also, how will the new worldwide #GivingTuesdayNow event on May 5 be received, and how will it fare compared to previous worldwide giving initiatives? Indiana University has experts available to discuss these issues. For more information, contact John Schwarb at 317-503-1312 or schwarbj@iu.edu.
