SUMMARY:The Opportunity Ahead: New Insights on Wealth and Giving in Central Texas
DESCRIPTION:Central Texas is experiencing remarkable growth in both wealth and charitable potential. New research from Austin Community Foundation provides a clearer picture of the opportunity\, from the billions already given to charity across the region each year to the significant wealth expected to change hands in the decades ahead. \nIn this interactive session\, Meagan Longley and Stephanie Sessa will connect these two perspectives to explore what the data tells us about philanthropy in Central Texas today\, what’s coming next\, and what it could mean for our region. Through new research\, real-world scenarios\, and table discussion\, attendees will explore where philanthropic opportunities may be going untapped\, how charitable conversations can begin earlier\, and the distinct roles advisors and nonprofit gift planners can play in helping donors translate wealth into meaningful\, lasting impact. \nAttendees will leave with a clearer understanding of Central Texas’ philanthropic potential and practical ideas for turning these insights into more meaningful donor and client conversations. \n \n \nSpeakers\nMeagan Longley\, a native Austinite\, is the Chief Impact Officer at Austin Community Foundation. In this role\, she is responsible for ensuring the Foundation’s initiatives have a meaningful and measurable impact.

She received her MSSW at the School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin and completed her undergraduate degree at Furman University in Greenville\, South Carolina. \n  \nStephanie Sessa\, CAP®\, serves as Director of Advisor & Donor Engagement at Austin Community Foundation.
