Bob Carter, Carter Global

Bob Carter is Founder and Chairman at Carter Global, the leading global philanthropic consultancy serving nonprofits, international non-governmental organizations (INGO's), and ultra-high net worth philanthropists. Bob is personally an expert in the development of major and mega gift fundraising campaigns and philanthropic giving strategies for mega givers. Throughout his career, Bob has also served as chairperson of seven different nonprofit boards, giving him an incredibly broad understanding of the inner-workings of our sector. 

We recently sat down with Bob to talk about the state of philanthropy in 2021, and his perspective on what the future holds for our sector, including:

  1. What he's most encouraged and concerned by in our sector for the coming year
  2. The biggest opportunities on the horizon for nonprofits over the next five years
  3. How data and technology are changing the philanthropic landscape for the future
  4. The potential impact of changes to donor privacy laws that are currently under consideration by the Supreme Court
  5. Bob's thoughts and guidance for new and emerging nonprofit leaders
  6. What we as fundraisers should know about philanthropic supporters -- particularly the differences between those who have created wealth vs. those who have inherited it
  7. Challenges to nonprofits of philanthropic investors who are willing and comfortable bypassing the traditional nonprofit ecosystem to create impact for a cause, and what nonprofits need to do to address this challenge
  8. The role of boards in addressing complicated issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion, and other tough conversations

Bob shares a wealth of valuable insights and perspectives in our brief conversation. Get your pen and notepad out, because this is like a free masterclass in philanthropic planning!
