Palm Springs, California
DonorsTrust is excited to participate in FreedomFest's Oasis of Liberty in Palm Springs, California from June 11 to June 14. Here's a rundown of how and where you can catch the DonorsTrust team during the conference.
Main Stage – It’s Your Money: Protecting Against Threats to Your Charitable Giving:
Join us for DonorsTrust’s first-ever Main Stage presentation (Oasis 3&4) on Thursday, June 12, from 10:10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Our CEO Lawson Bader and Vice President Peter Lipsett will explore the critical issue of protecting your charitable giving from external threats. In this session, we’ll dive into the challenges facing donors in today’s climate, from increasing political pressure to the risks of funds being diverted from their intended causes. Learn how to safeguard your philanthropic intentions, ensure your donations align with your values, and protect your charitable contributions from being misused. This conversation is essential for anyone looking to maximize the impact of their charitable giving while maintaining control and integrity in a changing world.
We’re delighted to host an invite-only lunch session for our DonorsTrust clients as well as a few friends on Thursday, June 12 from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. National Review's John Fund will join us again to explore the economic and political landscape with our CEO Lawson Bader. Come mingle and dine with a great group. Reach out to us if you'd like to join.
