We’ve all received cringe-worthy fundraising messages that just don’t feel quite human. They’re vague, don’t explain the impact of the donation, and ask for an arbitrary amount of money. If an appeal feels like it was written by a robot, it likely was generated by AI. Such subpar messages may be the reason that 63% of fundraisers feel uncomfortable using AI for personalized donor communications.

A nonprofit is more like a public company than a private enterprise in that it’s governed by a board of directors as well as its executive team. Federal and state laws require a nonprofit’s board members to assume responsibility for the organization’s well-being–meaning it can be held responsible if something goes wrong financially or operationally.

Until recently, the Meta verified blue badge was reserved only for notable brands and personalities with a large following on Facebook and Instagram. Small and medium-sized nonprofits could apply for the verified badge, but the vast majority of applications were declined. It’s been a frustrating experience for many nonprofits since verified pages and accounts get more organic reach in the feed.

Creating vs Discovering Campaigns The most successful nonprofit initiatives often aren’t created—they’re discovered. UNICEF’s famous Halloween campaign, which has raised over $180 million , didn’t originate in their marketing department. It started with a Philadelphia Sunday School class collecting coins instead of candy. UNICEF’s strategic genius lay in recognizing and scaling this organic community solution.

Gaining new donors and maintaining those relationships long term is essential to the success of your nonprofit and its projects.

To attract them to your cause, you can’t rely on the same strategies you may have used for Gen X or Baby Boomers.

The way we work is rapidly evolving amid societal and industry changes in a post-pandemic world.
