How did financial giving finish in 2020 for ECFA members and others? What’s the outlook for donation income in 2021? What additional trends have researchers identified as impacting nonprofit ministries and churches in the coming months? This presentation is research-based, and will include the first release of findings from a 2021 survey of ECFA members.
Learning Objectives:

- Explore the confidence level represented by ECFA members as they imagine what would happen if further changes in giving patterns were to happen in 2021.
- Compare recent directions in the broader charitable community such as the role of smaller-size gifts, and how that might impact Christ-centered ministries.
