The Future of Fundraising - 6/18/23

Happy Sunday and happy Father’s Day!

With the fiscal year-end in sight, advancement shops are busier than ever. Fundraisers know that their time is more valuable than ever and securing every gift, commitment, or pledge possible is top priority. It’s no secret that donor participation is down it won’t be long before its impact on fundraising revenue will be too steep to ignore.

With so much going on at the end of the year, few organizations have the resources it typically takes to draw up agreements for a non-major gift – and few donors would want to bother with an agreement. But an uncertain economy has nonprofits thinking about financial stability, and the reality is securing pledges from all donors is the first, and best, step to take.

That’s why we’ve created a digital gift agreement platform that allows fundraisers to secure gift pledges within seconds. Givzey simplifies the pledge process so fundraisers could do it mid-conversation as they talk to a donor — saving your team valuable time as they close the fiscal year. See for yourself how Givzey can help you close your fiscal year strong.
