In this episode of The NBR Podcast with Simon Shepherd:  Demand for charitable services is up but the level of funding is not matching it. Some charities have reduced services, others are closing. But is there an answer in the upcoming Great Wealth Transfer? It’s calculated that, by 2050, $1.6 trillion will be passed on from baby boomers to their families. Could they be convinced to give a little more?
