Some key takeaways from the webinar:

• 2023 marks the first time giving has gone down in a decade.
  • Giving to rescue missions decreased by more than seven percent, after having enjoyed sitting in one of the top two spots 2019-2020, 2020-2021.
• Cash giving makes up more than 80 percent of revenue for ECFA members.
• You should definitely prioritize building trust with the younger generations. They want to see you demonstrate transparency, honesty, and authenticity.
