  Philanos Webinar
  More Than Money: Measuring 25 Years of Collective Giving Impact
   Friday, November 13, 2026 12 PM ET

  As nonprofits and funders increasingly seek measurable outcomes alongside compelling stories, how can giving circles demonstrate the lasting impact of their grantmaking?

  Join Janet Collins, 2026 President of Impact 100 Cincinnati, and Dr. Michael Jones, Associate Professor, Educator of Economics, University of Cincinnati, as they share the findings from an innovative study examining 25 years of Impact 100 Cincinnati's grantmaking. By combining the giving circle's grant history with modeled nonprofit performance data from a large nonprofit database, the research estimates the long-term impact of its investments.

  Beyond the findings, this webinar will explore how giving circles and nonprofits are measuring, communicating, and demonstrating impact today.
