This session will provide a comprehensive analysis of the 2025 Alumni/ae and Donor Engagement Survey conducted by Cygnus Applied Research, featuring responses from members and donors representing 51 fraternal organizations. The survey, conducted from March to June, explored members' attitudes, opinions and expectations, and identified key factors that most greatly influence their decision to contribute philanthropically.
