Supercharge your fundraising program
Read here for expert insight on the latest trends, research and updates in philanthropy, marketing and fundraising for nonprofits.
Like you – and everyone else in the nonprofit fundraising world – I’ve been eager to see how donors who gave for the first time during COVID would behave in subsequent months. In 2020, Missions experienced a flood of generosity unlike ever before. For BDI clients, giving was up 25% over 2019. Online giving specifically was up 96% YOY with 14.6% of total 2020 revenue given online. Wow!
We at BDI are proud and inspired by this incredible story of our client and friend, Willie Parish, President of Bread of Life Mission in Seattle, WA. By sharing this interview from The Seattle Medium, I hope that Willie’s story provides you with a boost of encouragement and reminds you of the opportunity that we, in the nonprofit world, have to save and transform lives every day.
We expected 2021 to be an eventful and exciting year – and we haven’t been disappointed there! Big questions about new policies related to philanthropy loom… and we’re watching closely, waiting for answers.
Many say “the devil’s in the details.” But BDI’s Andrea Mills isn’t one of them. In fact, she delights in all that is intricate, precise and specific and appreciates the small things often overlooked by others.
Over and over in 2020, we regularly heard what an “unprecedented year” it was because of COVID-19. So it should come as no surprise that 2020 was also an unprecedented year for digital fundraising.
I was raised in a house of Beatles fans.
No matter the occasion, my brother and I were always excited to blast one of their many albums, choreograph dances and sing 6-part duets alongside our friends John, Paul, George and my favorite, Ringo.
