It's only a small amount of donors who are keeping organizations alive. 88% of donations come from only 12% of donors! That's why it's crucial to remember these three things: 1. Keep your top donors engaged 🤝 Keep up regular communication, personalized appreciation, and involve them in key decisions to ensure they feel valued and connected! 2. Increase outreach to new donors 📝 Use digital platforms, storytelling, and community events to attract new supporters! 3. Ask your current donors for more! 💸 Many donors are open to donating more. They just need to be asked! Follow us for more fundraising statistics and tips! #RuotoloAssociates #FundraisingStrategy #MajorDonors

This #smallcharityweek we're celebrating our small & local charity partners. One of which is Tiny Tickers 'The Tiny Hearts Charity' and I had the pleasure of chatting with Aimee Foster about their recent legacy campaign with Octopus Legacy for our latest Leg up for Legacies blog. Plus she shared some of her top tips for other small charities looking to launch a legacy campaign including: 📚 Do your research: Before starting your campaign, take a look at what other charities are doing - look at their websites and social media and get a feel for what is possible and what you think would land best with your supporters. The Leg up for Legacies community is also really helpful and contains many useful blog posts and webinars. 🗣 Drip feed the message: Make sure your whole team is comfortable with talking to supporters about legacy giving and drip-feed it into all your comms. It often takes a while to see results, but the more familiar your supporters are with your campaign, what you offer and how it makes a difference, the more legacy pledges you are likely to receive.

How does an all-inclusive trip to Club Median sound this year, #nonprofitfundraising friends? Let's run the numbers on Mean vs. Median and see which 'average' really deserves the spotlight in your fundraising strategy. Let's say these 5 donations represent 500 (because who doesn't love a good statistical shortcut?): $500 $1000 $1200 $2000 $30000 Mean average = $6,940 Median average = $1,200 Now, ask yourself: *Which average better reflects the majority of your donor base? *Which one will help you design a campaign that inspires generosity across the board? *Which one screams, “You need a major gifts program ASAP”? Oh, and here’s the kicker: Which average will take a nosedive if your biggest donor disappears? Being Mean isn't just rude. It can be strategically misleading. The water is warm at Club Median... #DonorBoom #nonprofitfundraising #fundraisingdata

Start with the basics: make your donors feel heard, ensure communications are relevant to them, and always show appreciation for their support. When you build lasting relationships, your supporters are more likely to continue giving and even expand their involvement - whether through recurring donations, volunteering, or attending events.  Donor engagement is about more than just money - it’s about creating a lasting connection that goes beyond a one-time gift.
