The Future of Fundraising
Successful fundraising in today's nonprofit sector requires an increasing balance between speed and risk. We all need to close more gifts faster, but we have to safeguard against risks such as not honoring the donor or gift’s intentions, not accepting gifts that conflict with our missions, or straying from gift compliance policies.
Over the decades, the only solution to find this balance for fundraising leaders has been to assign more people to the problem. While adding more people helps mitigate risk, it also slows the pace at which we close gifts in our increasingly fast-moving economy.
Intelligent Gift Documentation Management is the only technology that swings the pendulum into balance. Since bringing this technology to nonprofits for the first time a year ago, my team and I have seen amazing results: the ability to scale pledges to all levels of giving, multi-year giving programs that ensure participation and retention, increased giving revenues, 10x growth, and perhaps most importantly –?eliminating the risks associated with growth along the way.
See for yourself why fundraising leaders are turning to Intelligent Gift Documentation Management to proactively grow giving and protect that hard work at the same time –?schedule a demo today .
Here’s what’s on my radar this week:
Fundraising Survey: Enter to Win $100
We noticed a gap in data available to nonprofits between the time that a donor verbally agrees to a gift and when that gift actually closes. That’s why we’re compiling the first-ever Gift Documentation Management Benchmark Report - and we’d love for you to lend your voice!
The survey closes on Monday, June 3, 2024. Enter for a chance to win $100 for sharing your thoughts today! (BEGIN SURVEY )

But we aren't stopping there. Now that UMW sees the benefits of digital transformation, they're digging in even further. Beth and Shelby will tell us about their plans for FY2025 and how they plan to use Givzey's Intelligent Gift Documentation Management Platform to grow giving pipelines even more.
