Greater Giving

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024

Nonprofit leaders set the direction and tone for the entire organization’s operations.

According to The Generosity Commission, they instead are complex actions that go straight to the core of civil society and democracy, which includes declining trust of institutions and neighbors and social isolation.

More than grants, donations, or volunteer hours, public trust is the currency of the nonprofit sector. The public’s belief that nonprofits will “do the right thing” is what makes it possible for us to partner with communities, advocate for our missions, and bridge political divides to build a healthy and just nation. That’s why Independent Sector has been measuring public trust in nonprofits and philanthropy for the last five years.
