Every Nonprofit Needs to Understand:
Being mobile friendly =
being donor friendly.
Mobile optimization is no
longer optional.
A lack of mobile friendly
websites, donation forms,
and emails will put you at
a distinct disadvantage.
All these tools should be
used in combination to
maximize the donor giving
experience.

Organizations that prioritize
stewardship and retention
continue to find the greatest
success.
A focus on the
fundamentals of
relationship building
continues to be the key to
fundraising success.
The networked world has
placed donors squarely in the
role of key navigators of their
own philanthropic course.
Fundraisers
Take Note!
By taking the time to learn about their
motivations for giving and their unique
charitable perspectives, you can steward long-
term relationships to inspire donors to maintain
their valuable support for years to come.

A lack of mobile friendly websites, donation forms, and emails will put you at a distinct disadvantage. All these tools should be used in combination to maximize the donor giving experience.

  2. Lisa (and Kate) GIVING USA Annual Report on Philanthropy — the sources and uses of charitable giving — in the United States BLACKBAUD The Blackbaud Institute brings together the best minds in philanthropy to develop and share leading-edge research and insight that accelerates the impact of the social good community. 2018 Charitable Giving Report includes overall giving data from 9,029 nonprofits representing $31.9 billion in total giving in 2018. It also includes online giving data from 5,537 nonprofits representing $2.7 billion. Target Analytics donorCentrics Index of Direct Marketing Fundraising The Target Index reports on direct marketing giving only. Direct mail is the dominant revenue source for most organizations, but web, telemarketing, canvassing, and other gifts considered to be direct marketing are also included. Individual payments greater than $10,000, soft credits, and matching gift payments are excluded. FEP The groundbreaking annual Fundraising Effectiveness Survey, piloted in November 2006, collects fundraising data from nonprofit organizations beginning with data for 2004-2005. The Fundraising Effectiveness Survey enables participating groups to measure and compare their fundraising gain and loss ratios to those of similar organizations. Participants can use this industry data, which AFP offers free, to make better-informed, growth-oriented budget decisions to boost donor revenue. Data from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project’s 2018 Fourth Quarter Report is based on a panel of more than 4,500 charities selected from the Growth in Giving Database of 161 million individual transactions, which includes more than $72 billion in donations and 18,348 organizations since 2005. Organizations included in the panel have raised $5,000 or more from 25 or more donors in each of the last six years. Revenue figures have been adjusted for inflation.

  11. Lisa Looking at a 36 month view, overall giving has grown by 9% and online giving by 17%. This online giving represented a slower growth trend compared to the double-digit growth rates experienced in 2017. 2018 saw a leveling out of online giving after significant growth rates in 2016 and 2017.
  12. Lisa – low $ donors are key part of the pipeline that builds $1,000+ donors.

  14. Kate So this is where the fun comes in! You have control over the efforts you make to ensure you are among your donors’ Most Favorite Charities. Acquisition critical to keep a donor file healthy. We offer 2 acquisition campaigns a year and will soon be adding a 3rd. If you do nothing else, be sure you are committed to a professional acquisition program. Build a rythme or pace of communicating with your donors. Just like any relationship in our lives, we must invest time and attention on a regular basis to keep it enriched. It won’t work to treat your donors like an ATM machine or only reach out once or twice a year. Multi-channel communication is important—be where your donors are! And, don’t be shy about asking frequently—it is for an important cause! But, be sure not to ask EVERY time. Show your appreciation to donors…describe the impact of their gifts to you.

  16. Kate This illustrates a very basic communications calendar but it covers the critical areas: Acquisition (2x a year), New Donor Welcome Package (show of hands), series of fundraising asks in the mail/online, Giving Tuesday, Planned Giving, Cultivation How many of you are doing all these things? How many follow a coordinated Communication calendar?

  19. Lisa 2018 saw a leveling out of online giving after significant growth rates in 2016 and 2017 Online giving is entering a new phase where mobile and other digital channels continue to change how donors engage with nonprofit organizations Fun fact: June has continued to be the second largest giving month of the year, which aligns with the end of the fiscal year for many nonprofit organizations.

  22. Kate Keep this in mind when you allocate your resources: over 70% of all giving happens through the mail = approx. the same amount of gifts
  23. 2018 saw largest % of gifts coming in online – 8.5% Online giving still represents less than 10% of total fundraising. As a point of comparison, the U.S. Department of Commerce estimates that e-commerce sales in the third quarter of 2018 accounted for 9.8% of total sales. Consumer behavior continues to align with donor behavior when it comes to digital fundraising and engagement.
  24. Lisa Small nonprofits continue to set the mark with 13.4% of total fundraising coming from online giving. Medium-sized organizations moved to 7.8% and larger nonprofits to 4% in 2018.
