Notas do Editor
- In the Goodwill world, a lot of revenue comes from donations of goods and from direct government and foundation grants. In much of the nonprofit world, two forces have conspired to ensure greater growth of online revenue. First, the tools are readily available, and people are online. Let’s go meet them there. Second, government grants have been less available in the recent economic climate, and replacing this revenue takes nonprofits online.
- Blackbaud continues to do research into the percentage of total fundraising that comes from online giving. This data is especially valuable because it allows nonprofits to benchmark online giving against peer organizations within each sector or of a similar size. We looked at total giving for 1,560 organizations of varied size and found that, on average, online donations accounted for 6.3% of overall fundraising.
- Up 13% year-over-year.54% of the organizations experienced results at or above this growth rate. Medium Maturity: Medium-sized organizations, those with annual total fundraising between $1 million and $10 million, grew more than large or small organizations for the first time since Blackbaud began reporting on this trend. In 2010, these organizations had the slowest growth rate in the sector and were still feeling the effects of the recession. One year later, medium organizations accounted for more than 40% of all online giving. What changed? In prior years, we asserted that large organizations were quickly growing online fundraising as a percent of total funds raised based on the ability to invest resources and to learn from success in direct mail. On the other extreme, we believed small organizations grew quickly based on lack of resources – when one cannot rely on a rich direct mail program or a large staff of solicitors to fundraise, one gravitates toward tools with low start-up costs and wide reach. Because more donors are giving online than ever before all organizations experience a lift, but those with the most room to grow – medium-sized organizations – grew most.
- Haiti in 2010*Excluding large International Affairs organizations.
- End-of-year giving accounts for 34.8% of online giving (Q4). December represented 20.3% of this total.Yes, most of online giving happens in December. And yes, a lot of it happens in the final few days of the year. But there is risk in relying too much on year end giving because the inbox keeps getting more and more crowded. It is possible to build an online giving program that avoids the make-or-break end of year fundraising crunch.
- GII has seen several larger gifts come through our online system – multiple$5,000Distribution of $1k online gifts. This shows a measure of comfort with giving large gifts online. 87% of organizations had at least one online gift of $1,000+.The largest online gift made in 2011 was $260,000.

Go to resource development listserv – ask other members. Use email to talk about email. We’ll share information on how to do this at the end of this presentation.
- More and more it’s on their phone
- #1) Capture peoples email (opt-in) now that all that traffic is coming to your site based on your new SEO strategy.Think about having a compelling call to action on every page of your site.Make it simple to subscribe (i.e. possibly email addy only form)
- Start a regular newsletter now that people have given you permission to communicate with them … but make sure you’re not abusing their trust. Make sure it’s visually branded to match your site/other communication Keep the design/layout simple and easy to scan The subject line matter, craft them carefully Generate useful content that’s easily consumed by the social media age Always include a call to action, even if it’s just asking people to share with friendsCreate a calendar (monthly, weekly) so that you stay on top of things. Think through themes for each month in order to help with content production
- Create landing pages that match what the reader would expect based on the content of the newsletter (and call to action) Branding Simple to scan Easy to tell what you’d like me to do

- Pick the right social networks for your organization and go claimyour space (i.e. get your account/url/brand represented)Facebook – community buildingTwitter – buzz/informationYouTube – they create awesome videoFlickr– they take/receive great imagery
- We’re going to focus on Facebook today as it’s the biggestAnd most likely place you’re already doing something.How many out there have a Facebook page?Make sure you use the logo area to brand it. Don’t just use a standard logo, think bigger and more exciting.
- This is really where the magic happens, everything else is (set-up).Provide info, but use compelling images

- Start interesting discussions by asking good questions (and using images)

- Most of online giving happens in December.In fact, a lot happens in the final few days of the year.But there is risk in relying too much on year end giving because the inbox keeps getting more and more crowded.
- Charity:WaterClean websiteClear call to actionSimple, focused giving formGreat reason for giving% of gift that goes to the missionWhere the money goes
- Recurring giving focusMonthly giving is important. In addition to Frank Barry’s recent post on why you need a recurring giving program, the just-released 2012 eNonprofit Benchmark study found that online monthly giving is growing at a much faster rate than one-time giving.But don’t just offer recurring giving. Brand it as an exclusive, meaningful, and fun online experience. Some nonprofits do this by asking monthly donors to “join the club” and give them names like Miracle Makers,Partners for Change, and Guardian Angels.Create your own “club” with perks that enhance the giving experience. Things like first-to-know email alerts, discounted store purchases or drawings for celebrity meet-and-greets. Also, detail how monthly donations impact your mission. Let monthly donors know they’re part of a team really making a difference.The Salvation Army’s Bed & Bread Club has raised more than $100-million nationwide in the last 25 years by persuading people to give monthly.The charity asks donors to give at least $10 a month, or $120 for the year. More than 19,000 people are now making gifts, and nearly 70 percent of them give additional gifts that exceed the minimum annual requirement. (Source: Chronicle of Philanthropy)
- Donors have a lot of places they can give their money: Why give to you?
- The 2011 Money for Good study also found that even though donors rarely research organizations, they want to give to reputable nonprofits that won’t waste their money.So, be transparent about how donations are used and provide (unbiased) proof that you can be trusted. Use logos from and links to ratings by Charity Navigator, GuideStar Exchange, Better Business Bureau, and other third-party organizations to show donors you’re responsible.
- Each giving level subtly upsells the standard $25 / 50 / 75 and $100 gift. People can still give $25, but more people will tend to round up. These tactics can be incorporated into their Online Giving landing page as well as their non-GII giving form. IMPORTANT: We cannot support a custom form for members through our system without significant additional cost borne by the member. (If you’re interested in a custom form, please contact Adam Stiska)
- (Not available on GII form, at least this year. Form in its current form cannot be altered. If you’re interested in a custom form, please contact Adam Stiska)
- People love the idea of their gift going farther. Sometimes it’s just a matter of making it easy for them to complete the match.
- Segmentation – specific data points that let you send special messages of high interest to the recipient
- HOPE Worldwide retain 15% of their new Haiti-related donors in the first yearImplemented a year-long multichannel campaign to keep new donors informed on progress.Tell people what you’ve doneUse email effectively
- The term “crowdsourcing” has been in use since 2006, but you’re hearing it a lot more often these days. The less fashionable term is peer-to-peer fundraising or P2P. It’s when you invite your supporters to reach out to their contacts and spread the message, raising money on your behalf. The possibilities are exciting – to do it well, like anything, requires work and a deliberate effort to support for your fundraising volunteers. Options: First Giving, Crowdrise, Just Giving, Blackbaud Friends Asking Friends, Blackbaud TeamRaiserCrowdsourcing first appeared in Wired magazine and refers to “the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an undefined, large group of people or community (a crowd), through an open call.”
- Goodwill International can provide a branded online giving form GII has sent members direct URLs to their forms which remove the need to use the selection page. This removes several clicks for the donor…
