One of the ways I do so is by keeping them informed about what’s happening across the nonprofit industry.  For years now, I’ve sent out monthly emails that compile articles, news, studies, polls, research—you name it—from every corner of the charitable giving space.  Starting now, I’ll expand my audience by sharing these insights in a new blog feature called Rossi’s Roundup. We’ll start by catching up on 2023.  So, what’s been breaking news in philanthropy over the last four months? Well, a lot! Grab a beverage and enjoy.  ## [**1. Giving by Generation (Giving USA Special Report)**](https://store.givingusa.org/collections/special-reports-spotlights/products/giving-usa-special-report-giving-by-generations) ![giving generation](https://blog.rkdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/giving%20generation.jpg?width=200&height=135&name=giving%20generation.jpg)This report, released Jan. 31, 2023, covers how different generations are currently engaging with charitable giving and how that behavior has significantly shifted over the past six years.   Overall, donor sentiment toward responding to direct mail has stayed steady since 2016, with likelihood going from 3.5 to 3.4. Interestingly, Millennials are the most likely to respond, scoring an intensity rating of 3.5 compared to 3.3 for both Gen X and Boomer donors.  ![donors by generation who would welcome a monthly direct mail letter](https://blog.rkdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-04-2023-06-55-57-3849-PM.png?width=500&height=145&name=image-png-May-04-2023-06-55-57-3849-PM.png) When it comes to direct mail motivating an online gift, we found that it has actually increased as a medium for motivating such a response from Millennials and Boomers. Not surprisingly, the Boomer generation is more likely for direct mail to motivate an online gift.  ![donors by generation who have been influenced to give online gift by direct mail](https://blog.rkdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-04-2023-06-56-22-0081-PM.png?width=500&height=135&name=image-png-May-04-2023-06-56-22-0081-PM.png) Speaking of direct mail, this current study shows that it is still a viable medium to generate a gift. In fact, as you can see from the chart below, Millennials are more likely to respond to direct mail now than they were in 2016, with nearly 6 out of 10 (59 percent) saying they are somewhat likely or very likely to respond.   ![donors by generation who have been influenced to give by direct mail](https://blog.rkdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-04-2023-06-56-34-3202-PM.png?width=500&height=132&name=image-png-May-04-2023-06-56-34-3202-PM.png) When asked how they prefer to respond to a direct mail appeal, a plurality of all generations except Boomers prefer to give online. However, it’s important to note that this preference has increased among both Gen X and Boomer donors.  ![donors by generation who prefer to give online to direct mail](https://blog.rkdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-04-2023-06-56-46-8829-PM.png?width=500&height=135&name=image-png-May-04-2023-06-56-46-8829-PM.png)  ## [2. FEP data: Donations decline for the first time since 2012](https://afpglobal.org/2022-fundraising-showed-substantial-weakness-through-q4) ![FEP](https://blog.rkdgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FEP.png?width=200&height=74&name=FEP.png)Despite donor counts falling in five out of the last six quarters, giving dollars had stubbornly hung on to marginal growth in Q2 and Q3 2022, primarily driven by large donors. However, according to FEP’s latest quarterly data, the continuing decrease in donors of all types in Q4 was accompanied by a notable weakness in total dollars.   The full FEP Q4 2022 report is available [here](https://data.givingtuesday.org/fep-report/).   ## [3.

But a new study from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy finds that many know relatively little about how philanthropy functions, its impact on their lives or how its current controversies could shape the future. ## [4.
