The nonprofit perspective is an essential one for philanthropic funders to consider when it comes to any number of issues. After all, nonprofit staff and volunteers are the ones doing the critical work on the front lines, providing support and creating the change that philanthropy cares deeply about. Too often, unfortunately, the nonprofit perspective goes unheard.

In November 2019, CEP surveyed the Grantee Voice panel of nonprofit CEOs with questions about a number of current issues that have been hotly debated in philanthropy, including the pros and cons of donor-advised funds (DAFs), the use of gift acceptance policies, the impact of recent changes to the tax code, anticipated changes in nonprofit revenue, and concerns about a recession. The results are shown in this report.
