Why donors give anonymously

Giving without a trace

There have always been donors who prefer to give to charities without revealing their identities. But these days wealthy individuals have more ways — from donor-advised funds to cryptocurrency — to “give without a trace.” 

Join the Chronicle of Philanthropy for free online forum exploring the common reasons why wealthy individuals give anonymously. This session will examine whether fundraising tactics may cause donors to conceal their identities; how to strengthen ties with major donors who seek anonymity or eschew recognition; how giving patterns among anonymous donors are evolving and what that might mean for major-gift fundraising.
