What will philanthropy look like in ten years? Increasingly, it looks like future philanthropy will be driven by data and rooted in technology. If done right, this will not eliminate the deeply rich humanity we have as a sector, but rather augment it, allowing us to work more productively and with greater impact.
In this talk by BrightHive co-founder Andrew Means, you will see how better data about impact is changing the game in philanthropy. You’ll learn how your organization can utilize data more effectively and peer over the edge to get a glimpse of what our field might look like in 10 years.
