    2024 LGBTQ+ Index Report
    (Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2024-04) Indiana University Lilly Family
    The 2024 edition of the LGBTQ+ Index incorporates fresh data from 2020 and 2021 to offer a decade-long perspective on the sector. This period marks a critical juncture, reflecting both the impact of global events like the COVID-19 pandemic and significant shifts in public and private support for LGBTQ+ causes.The primary aim of this Index is to provide philanthropy scholars, practitioners, policymakers, donors, and a wider audience with detailed insights into LGBTQ+ organizations, particularly focusing on the funding disparities they face and the unique challenges they navigate. This information is not only a valuable benchmark for nonprofit organizations within the sector, but also a resource for development officers and nonprofit leaders to forge meaningful connections and align their efforts. Moreover, donors and funders can leverage this research to identify gaps in existing resources and tailor their contributions to address the unique needs of LGBTQ+ organizations.

    2025 Communities of Color Index Report
    (2025-06-04) Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    The inaugural Communities of Color Index (CCI) is the first systematically generated landscape of charitable organizations in the U.S. specifically focused on serving communities of color. This first report includes giving data from 2012 to 2022, and offers crucial insights into the characteristics of these organizations and trends in philanthropic giving by individuals, foundations, and corporations. Fundraisers and nonprofit leaders can use the CCI to benchmark their organizations and inform fundraising strategies. Donors and grantmakers can leverage the CCI to identify funding patterns and gaps to guide their giving strategies. Additionally, the CCI serves as a resource for scholars and researchers seeking to explore broader trends in philanthropy and charitable giving to communities of color. The CCI is a project of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s Equitable Giving Lab, an initiative of the school that measures charitable giving to historically under-resourced groups.

    American Jewish Philanthropy 2022: Giving to Religious and Secular Causes in the U.S. and to Israel Report
    (Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2024-02) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly Family
    This report examines American Jewish giving and volunteering in 2022, with a strong emphasis on religious giving and giving to Israel-focused organizations. The analyses that make up the findings of the report are based on a survey developed for this study which was conducted by SSRS in March 2023. The survey and these analyses are enhanced by prior studies of Jewish philanthropy. The subsequent analysis explores how certain factors—household income and wealth, marital status, educational attainment, children living at home, and age—influence philanthropy as demonstrated by prior research (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011; Rooney et al., 2018; Wiepking & Bekkers, 2012) and how those effects differ as compared to non-Jewish households. This report also contributes to the body of philanthropic research by examining factors that are specific to Jewish philanthropy, including religiosity, engagement in and affinity for the Jewish faith, affiliation with different Jewish denominations, Jewish ethnic backgrounds, and concerns toward and experiences with antisemitism. It delves into motivations for giving and provides detailed information about the largest gifts given by Jewish households. In addition to its contribution related to giving to Israel-focused organizations, the report also details the allocation of gifts to specific types of organizations or causes.
