Traditional or virtual fundraising. With the rise of online fundraisers, are they all they're cracked up to be, or are traditional fundraisers still generating more money? The solution lies in the campaign's objectives, target market, and available funding.  Our most recent article will provide you with insights into the advantages and disadvantages of both strategies, allowing you to decide which is ideal for your organisation. https://lnkd.in/ePzXv4wV

The Bonterra nonprofit ecosystem is growing! We’re excited to announce our acquisition of DonorDrive , one of the most widely recognized leaders in peer-to-peer fundraising. For more than two decades, they’ve helped some of the largest nonprofits in the world raise billions of dollars through social media, mobile fundraisers, and livestreamed and ticketed events. Why now? As donors increasingly desire more personalized, meaningful experiences — and nonprofits continue to need more frequent, sustainable supporters — DonorDrive will help us rise to the challenge and deliver bold impact. We’re also thrilled for two other reasons… First, we plan to quickly integrate DonorDrive into our existing Bonterra Fundraising and Engagement solutions including Essentials, Pro, and Enterprise. These customers will immediately gain access to DonorDrive’s industry-leading capabilities including peer-to-peer fundraising as part of their Bonterra solution. Second, this philosophy of innovation — building, buying, and partnering with the best technology in the industry — is what you should continue to expect from Bonterra. We’re building software for the greatest good, and that means constantly looking for ways to help you achieve more impact, faster. Our acquisition of DonorDrive is one of those ways, but it’s also just the very beginning. We can’t wait to make more impact, together. https://brnw.ch/21wMx6R

I’ve written about year-end planning a lot, including messaging tips and strategies to leverage matching gifts and prioritize your major donors. All of those recommendations still apply this year, but 2024 is likely to be very different because of the election. Whether your work is steeped in advocacy and the outcome of the election is pivotal to your mission or you’re further removed from policies or government, your donors are likely to be distracted and preoccupied this fall. What does this mean for you? It’s more important than ever that you have a clear strategy and solid plan in place for year-end fundraising this year. Read more here. Also, as a bonus, we have a complimentary end-of-year planning template. To get your copy, please comment below. https://lnkd.in/gb-_jaQx
