Join Spur Community Foundation for an evening with Phil Buchanan, president of the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) and author of Giving Done Right: Effective Philanthropy and Making Every Dollar Count—named Best Philanthropy Book of the Year (2019) by Inside Philanthropy.

A passionate advocate for effective giving and a strong nonprofit sector, Buchanan has worked with hundreds of individual donors for more than two decades. As founding CEO of CEP, co-host of the Giving Done Right podcast, and a widely published thought leader, he brings a deep understanding of what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to giving with impact.

In conversation with Sally Gillespie, Executive Director of Spur Community Foundation, Buchanan will explore how donors at every level can be more thoughtful, strategic, and effective in their philanthropy. Whether you're just beginning your giving journey or refining your legacy, this event will offer powerful insights and practical guidance for meaningful, lasting impact.
