Really valuable information via Blackbaud and The Giving Institute showcasing the breakdown of donations across various sectors during the last 40 years. Notoriously, religion is showing continual decrease while other sub-sectors are increasing during the last 4 decades.

Giving is such a positive-sum game— the giver and the receiver bot have the opportunity to feel so much love. We hope you look out for a way to be #generous today! #giving #community #fundraising

A 2018 report on giving trends shows that even two years ago, online donations were growing disproportionally to overall giving. With #COVID19, increasing remote workforces, and the increasing financial freedom of #GenZ, these trends will only continue.

24% of first year online donors will donate again the following year, but 63% donors who have donated more than one year will continue to donate. What does this teach us? That maintaining relationships with existing donors is absolutely key to successfully funding organizations.

It's easy, as fundraisers, to get bogged down in the nitty-gritty day to day details of giving. But when we zoom out, it truly is about what giving does for all parties involved.

We live in an increasingly globalized society, and as fundraisers we can look to tailor our efforts to build a global community of donors. Obviously this is organization and mission dependent, but it is something to stay aware of.

As fundraisers, we must pay attention to specific channels of communication. Organizations, schools, and non-profits must tailor their messages across various platforms and have a specific plan and strategy for who they are trying to reach and why they are reaching them.

As millennials become increasingly secure in their financial situations, there is more disposable income and an increased awareness toward social good. We are focusing our efforts and platform to help organizations find their ideal donors!

We feel a little pious sourcing an unknown quote, but we just believe in the sentiment so much! Believing in organizations or missions of any kind eventually breaks down into strength of your story.

An awesome shot of the Campus at University of Richmond To date, the platform and strategic collaboration with Community Funded has allowed for them to run over 20 targeted giving initiatives, bringing in thousands of donors and millions of dollars. #fundraising #highered #richmond

Community Funded has always been focused on allowing brands to be themselves. That's why our platform has the ability to have branded giving pages and seamlessly integrate into all giving stacks. What is best for our partners is best for us!

We must always remember what a privilege it is to have donors give to the causes we believe in. At Community Funded, we continually ask ourselves what is best for the organization & the donor. There is plenty of overlap & it truly is where the magic happens. #giving #fundraising

Some wisdom is truly timeless. There is obviously a season for both, but we are proud to be an organization that looks towards the future with hope, grit, and determination. #giving #building #innovation #fundraising

At Community Funded, we are focused on changing with the landscape of giving. Love it or hate it, social media is an extremely important part of giving and fundraising strategy. We must go where the attention is if we want to maximize our impact. #fundraising #attention #impact

In our current climate, it is easy to become overwhelmed and stagnant in our day to day lives. However, we must realize that any action (no matter how small) is commendable and has the opportunity to snowball into something much larger. Be faithful, friends. #giving #consistancy

Paying attention to specific donor demographics is one way that we, at Community Funded, stay ahead of the competition. When you become part of the CF family, we figure out exactly how to best utilize your existing network to build the strongest fundraising solution available.

We are proud to partner with Olivet Nazarene which was just ranked as #2 Best Value school in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report Magazine. We could not be prouder to partner with a University that cares and delivers efficient impact to their student body!

While not directly applicable to #fundraising, we believe that love is the underpinning of most powerful organizations. We just wanted to give a reminder to show a little extra #love your co-workers, #donors, and #neighbors today.

We are excited to announce that Community Funded is joining GiveCampus, the premier fundraising platform for nonprofit educational institutions. go.givecampus.com/about-us/award…
