This document summarizes trends in the nonprofit industry based on data from Blackbaud. It discusses trends such as a decline in the number of donors but leveling off recently. Online giving is growing faster than any other channel and mobile is becoming increasingly important. Nonprofits have responded by investing more in stewardship, mid-level donors, and predictive modeling tools. The document also introduces the presenters and their relevant experience and publications.
There are three major trends impacting nonprofits today: The channels used to fundraise are changing, the people who donate are changing, and the giving experience is changing. We’ll discuss why integrated and multi-channel fundraising, engaging Generation X and Millennial donors, and moving beyond the donation page are critical.
These are the introduction slides for the past MyCharityConnects On The Road presented by Direct Energy that happened in Calgary and Edmonton in November 2009.
The 2019 M+R Benchmarks Study: Online Fundraising, Advocacy, Marketing and MoreTechSoup

Travel Portland Marketing Seminar - Targeting demographics vs. targeting beha...Kevin Bekker, MBA
Using behavioral targeting to target demographics is like using a horse to pull a hybrid vehicle. It works, but it's really not the best use of technology.
Using 1st and 3rd party data to target consumers is more actuate and cost effective then traditional methods. With behavior, we can identify consumers looking for products or services within the week of the activity taking place.
