Are we living in unprecedented times for philanthropy, or have we seen this all before? Stacy Palmer, Chronicle of Philanthropy CEO, has some answers.

We're excited to share a recent episode from The Solve Effect podcast, where host Hala Hanna sat down with Stacy, who has reported for four decades on trends in giving, government funding, and the extremely wealthy people who power philanthropy.
