Dramatic shift towards online giving in the last 5 years. Typical nonprofit now receives 8% of income online. 2/3 of major donors report looking at a charity’s website

before giving. Facebook estimated to be fastest growing company ever! 57% of donors report “a lot of” awareness of text donation

options following Haiti. Many charities seeing 30%-40% of direct mail recipients

making their gifts on website.

Response by Sent Channel

Case Study 1:

EMAIL

Synchronized campaigns show huge value! Many prime donors now rely on the medium. But collecting email addresses in direct mail is very slow

going… email appends typically find only 10-20% of records. Some of the best offline donors still don’t use email.

Case Study 2:

PRINT

Channel jumping is getting easier… and the potential for online stewardship and engagement is almost limitless!

DM audience is starting to move online for transactions. But classic direct mail donor is not the most Web savvy. Switching mediums takes some effort. Risks of distraction when we pull a direct mail donor

online.

WEB PAGES

Stewardship and upgrade potential is phenomenal… and cost saving potential enormous.

Success of recurring giving programs is catapulted to new levels online.

Most websites serve multiple purposes beyond fundraising – and are often hands off as far as development is concerned.

Data tracking can be limited… and success at channel-migration hard to measure.

Case Study 4:

SEARCH MARKETING

Optimize your site for mission-specific keywords Average gift tend to be high… and long-term value is

tremendous! Paid search can be a great source of new email addresses,

while organic traffic brings potential donors to your site. But there is little hard evidence of donor crossover to

search engines. A high volume of donations is harder to come by in this

channel.

Case Study 5:

SOCIAL MEDIA

The explosive growth in usage means our very best donors – even Grandma – will soon be on Facebook!

You can’t beat it for brand building. Keeping an authentic presence is time-consuming. The payoff in immediate support is often very limited.

Movement across channels will accelerate and integration will be more important than ever.

New complexities — and new opportunities — lie ahead! Will mobile fundraising emerge as a high value long-term

channel? Will QR codes emerge as the next big thing? What else will the future bring to fundraisers?

We must be nimble…to embrace the future while not losing sight of what we already know.

State of the Union: What Will the Future Bring?
