Whatever your opinion on the recent Affirmative Action Supreme Court decision, it is impossible to ignore it’s potential impact on philanthropy. I recently returned from the Giving Institute Summer Symposium where I had thought-provoking conversations about the potential repercussions. I’ve also read the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s coverage discussing and debating the effects of the case. As a fundraising professional with a firmly held belief in the critical role nonprofits play in our society, I encourage you to consider the court’s decision and how it could impact philanthropy.
