Illinois Transfer of Wealth

The 2020 Illinois Transfer of Wealth study estimates $434 billion in wealth will pass across generations in the next 10 years and $3.3 trillion in the next 50 years. With many Illinois nonprofits wondering how they will be able to create positive lasting change in their community, this study highlights the philanthropic potential if even a small portion of that transfer is captured for community projects and long-term investments.
