On this week’s episode, Elise Westhoff joins to discuss philanthropic giving in 2020, including the most recent data on charitable giving during COVID. We’ll also discuss how private giving tends to solve social challenges better than the government, why donor privacy is paramount, and debate whether or not diversity and inclusion mandates in the philanthropic sector have been helpful or harmful.

 

Elise joined The Philanthropy Roundtable as President and CEO in June 2020. Before joining the Roundtable, she was the executive director of The Snider Foundation, a family foundation founded by the late Ed Snider. With Mr. Snider’s donor intent at the forefront, the foundation defined program areas and developed a cohesive grantmaking strategy during her tenure. From 2009 to 2013 Elise directed major gifts fundraising for neuroscience programs at the Indiana University School of Medicine and she is a member of the board of directors of the Commonwealth Foundation and a member of the Forum of Executive Women.
