What does it take to lead through profound change without losing sight of purpose?

In our latest newsletter, we highlight Guided by Principle, Driven by Change: Insights on Transformative Leadership from University Presidents Globally, a new book by Phoenix Philanthropy Senior Consultant Devorah Lieberman.

Drawing on research into the leadership experiences of 23 university presidents across multiple continents, Devorah explores what unites effective leaders—and what distinguishes their experiences—as they navigate uncertainty, change, and evolving expectations in higher education.

The result is a thoughtful look at leadership grounded in confidence, wisdom, and purpose.

There is a paradox at the heart of modern philanthropy: we have more data, technology, and sophisticated fundraising tools than ever before. Yet one of the most powerful tools remains remarkably simple: listen.

This summer, The Phoenix Philanthropy Group explored that idea through conversations across Arizona and Southern California, including our Giving USA presentations and the San Diego Fundraising Conference.

Behind every statistic is a human decision. A donor decides that an organization is worthy of confidence. A family chooses a cause that reflects its values. A philanthropist decides whether the people entrusted with a mission will turn generosity into meaningful impact.

That is where the numbers end and the relationship begins.

Understanding donor preferences takes more than knowing their generation.

Generational giving data can offer valuable insight into how donors engage with causes. Millennials and Gen Z are increasingly active in philanthropy, Gen X leads in volunteering, and Boomers are positioned to transfer significant wealth in the years ahead.

But generation is only one part of the picture. A donor’s life stage can also shape how, when, and why they choose to give.

Our latest newsletter explores what generational and life-stage giving trends can tell nonprofit leaders about understanding and engaging their donors.
