And what impact does the economy, stock market, and tax code changes have on giving? All things discussed with Dr. Una Osili, Associate Dean for Research and International Programs at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, as she chats about the Giving USA 2019 report — which she helps lead and produce — which is the annual report on philanthropy for over 40 years.Links & ResourcesGiving USA 2019:https://givingusa.org/Lilly Family School of Philanthropy: https://philanthropy.iupui.edu/Generosity for Life: http://generosityforlife.org/

Una O. Osili, Ph.D., is an economist with significant experience in research and policy in the fields of household behavior and economic policy. She is also associate dean for research and international programs at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. Dr. Osili was featured in a Time magazine article about trends for philanthropy in 2019, where she explained the idea of adding the idea of "testimony" to the traditional thinking of giving "time, treasure and talent" as ways to support nonprofit missions. Dr. Osili talks with host Steve Boland about listening and engaging to leverage social capital of supporters, transparency in nonprofit work and outcomes supporting a mission more than an organization, and much more.

“There were times when you were the only woman in the room, and you had to bring your self-confidence, your belief in yourself, and the desire for excellence in your pursuits,” says Una Osili, associate dean and professor at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. She talks about the intersection of economics and philanthropy, the state of women in economics internationally and the need for more people of color in the field.
