Fundraising Forecast 2020

Online donations have grown rapidly over the last three years. This shift follows an overall trend where people are moving more of their transactions and engagement online. From clothing and household goods, to groceries and travel. However, this isn't as simple as throwing up a donation form and counting donations as they come in. Your donors will expect your online giving experience to reflect trust and security, and be easy on all devices.

Organizations are finding new ways to use peer-to-peer tools and approaches to raise money and engage supporters. Traditional walk-a-thons aren’t going anywhere, but tools that were originally intended for such events are now being used for everything from virtual food drives to mission trips to fraternity events to blood drives to the increasingly popular DIY events.

In an age where attention is currency, subject matter experts within organizations are uniquely positioned to build and grow influence. This webinar gives participants new ways to think about and consider thought leadership as a strategy to influence fundraising and organizational impact.

More and more grantmakers we're talking to are rounding out their years by creating annual reports. Whether it's to summarize, level-set, or tell their stories! But how do you get started?

It can bring awareness to your work, garner support for your mission, and build trust with your stakeholders. Our own Alexis Fish interviews Tere Segarra of Pacific Life and Susan Merfeld of Pebble Beach Company Foundation to discuss the hows, the whys and the whats of their annual reports. Join us as they share their best practices and suggestions.
