Education
Explore learning opportunities and deepen your understanding of faith-based giving, religious fundraising, and generosity
Studying, teaching, and understanding the religious motivations for giving allows for more effective fundraising and outreach across the nonprofit sector. By pairing Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s groundbreaking research with Lake Institute’s on-the-ground knowledge of religious traditions, Lake Institute translates an understanding of statistics and trends into practical tools and strategies. But even more important than the how to, we address the why.
