Many others, including me , have weighed in on the topic. Using text messaging can help you reach GenX and Millennials, 30% of whom prefer to give by smartphone.

What I realized through my Vol-induced, sweat-accompanied stress of a blog-writing session is that if you get too far away from the root of why you started a project- if you let outside influences weigh down your creative juices- you’ll end up staring at a fork in the road that goes by the name fatigue.

This is one of my absolute favorite topics in philanthropy, this idea of engaging board members as fundraising ambassadors. And then I thought this was really interesting about millennials is that 33% of millennials say they give more to a nonprofit they volunteer with. So 62% of donors are also volunteers.

Some of the key takeaways are not surprising, for example, millennials are likely to buy products that appear in their feeds , but older generations are not.
