Formerly Giving Tomorrow
Giving magazine is the premiere resource for fundraisers everywhere. We believe that a rising tide lifts all boats — and that by sharing knowledge and experience, we can lift all nonprofits and take philanthropy to the next level.
We’re seeking guest writers and contributors for next year’s issues. And by sharing your expertise, you’ll not only be helping other nonprofits, you’ll be establishing your authority in the fundraising space. Talk about a career-builder!
