The Changing Face of America's Donors

Should you believe the hype about the predicted transfer of wealth as members of the World War II and baby-boom generations die?

Many fund raisers have been led to believe their organizations will soon be getting a massive influx of bequests and other gifts during this transfer. But what do the numbers really show? When will this population bubble begin to really affect charities? And how are donors from these age groups likely to pass on their money?

Join two top experts — John W. Jensen, a senior vice president with the Sharpe Group, a fund-raising consulting firm in Arlington, Va., and James Chung, the president of Reach Advisors in New York — for a live online discussion about these questions.

The discussion will be held at noon Eastern time on Tuesday and is open to everyone, not just Chronicle subscribers.
