About this episode

You need to not miss this! And I want you to join the conversation!

Since Atlas of Giving announced its review of 2013 fundraising in January, there’s been tension between them and Giving USA in other philanthropy media. For the first time, they’ll be face-to-face, rather than talking AT each other.

These organizations have 2 things in common:

  1. Each prepares a broad analysis of fundraising results.
  2. Each has problems with the way the other measures and forecasts.

My guests will be Rob Mitchell, CEO of the Atlas; Gregg Carlson, chair of the Giving USA Foundation; and Una Osili, Director of Research at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

We’ll talk through their issues around accuracy, methodology and relevance. We’re taking your questions, too! Submit them as comments below or on Twitter using the hashtag #NonprofitRadio.

Forbes.com dubbed it the “philanthropy food fight.” On February 21, I’ll be the cafeteria cop.
