The year-end season accounts for roughly 35% of a nonprofit's online revenue for the year.

And with so much revenue at stake, you would assume the fundraisers and marketers use every tool at their disposal to connect with donors and increase donations.

A recent analysis, however, of 119 nonprofit organizations paints a different picture. In fact, 65% of nonprofits did not use a multi-channel strategy to win over donors during the year-end season.

Moreover, many organizations put in zero effort to cultivate their donors during this critical season.

And in this brand new research study conducted in partnership between Virtuous and NextAfter, you’ll see exactly how nonprofits communicate with, cultivate, and appeal to both online and offline donors during the year-end season.

What you'll get in the free year-end multichannel fundraising research study

In the new State of Year-End Multichannel Fundraising study, you’ll get critical answers to questions like:

  • How do nonprofits communicate with online and offline donors differently during the end of the year?
  • What do organizations prioritize first: Giving Tuesday or December 31st?
  • What’s the balance of appeals versus donor cultivation during year-end?
  • And what kinds of strategies can improve my year-end communications?
