Sustainable Fundraising:
The Path Forward from the Great Donor Crash
An uncertain economy and massive competition for donors makes today's fundraising environment challenging. Three quarters of organizations still have not returned to their donor counts pre-pandemic, and since most of our major donors give for years before they make big gifts, we have work to do. Inaction could mean peril: a "crash" in your donor base might mean disaster for the future.
There is hope, however. Organizations have set records for donor acquisition, retention, and growth in giving even in this challenging time. They've done it with careful strategy. Budget concerns, staff turnover, and short-term resource constraints make the tail end of 2023 a crucial time for fundraiser decision-making. The time is now to put the platforms, people, and strategy in place that set you up for success.
Watch this webinar featuring seasoned fundraising professionals to hear how:
- Key decisions today will set your organization up for sustainable fundraising success in the future.
- How the rising generations of philanthropic Gen Z and Millennial donors can lead the charge in your inclusive, purposeful donor engagement strategy, if you can capture their attention and mission focus.
- How you can set up your leadership, major and planned giving officers up with warm leads and improve success quickly.
- How you can avoid wasting time and resources on fundraising fads and instead convert donors to action who are right in front of you.
- How high-ROI, integrated technology makes it all possible with an omnichannel strategy.
