In 2025, transformational healthcare giving surged to an all-time high. GOBEL tracked 258 gifts of $10M or more, up from 227 in 2024, with total giving reaching at least $14.47 billion, surpassing every previous year on record. Two gifts topped $1 billion for the second consecutive year, a pattern that’s beginning to look less like an outlier and more like the new normal.
But the surge comes with a catch: dollars are up, while the number of donors behind them is not growing at the same pace. Larger gifts from a smaller pool of donors is reshaping how healthcare organizations need to think about pipeline, connection, and readiness.
Join GOBEL’s team of experts for a candid panel discussion unpacking what’s behind the rebound, and what it means for your organization’s fundraising strategy heading into 2026.
In This Webinar, You’ll Learn:
- Why transformational giving rebounded to a record $14.47B in 2025, and what’s fueling the surge
- Why two $1B+ gifts in a single year is no longer an outlier, but an emerging trend
- The “dollars up, donors down” dynamic and what fewer, larger gifts mean for your pipeline
- Why nearly 75% of transformational donors have no publicly known connection to the institutions they support
- What wealth transfer, global health needs, and shifting federal funding could mean for giving in 2026
