The latest GivingUSA report on charitable giving in the United States is out. What do smart fundraisers, particularly those heading up “one-person” development shops, need to know? Charitable giving in the U.S. declined by 2.1% in 2023 after adjusting for inflation. Nonprofits have been concerned about the decreasing number of American donors for years, and the 2023 report reinforces these worries.

So, you’re using AI ‘responsibly’, but, asks Cherian Koshy , are you using it ethically? The two are not the same thing. I vividly remember watching the space shuttle Challenger break apart just moments after launch. Even as a kid, I knew that this was an important moment, especially when President Reagan addressed the nation. In the years since, as I’ve built my career in the nonprofit sector, I’ve often found myself thinking about the hard lessons of history and that tragedy – the da

The deal also requires the now retired executive to undergo training should he return to the sector. A jury this past February found Phillips, 75, liable for violating his duties in managing the NRA and its financial affairs and ordered him to pay $2 million in damages.

This post co-authored by me and long-time friend and former colleague, Fundraising Economist Bill Jacobs of Analytical Ones. One of most counterintuitive truths about fundraising is this: The more recently a donor gave, the more likely they are to give now. It’s so hard to believe that many organizations “rest” donors from being asked for period of time after they give.

The lifeblood of many non-profit organizations and NGOs lies in the tireless efforts of their volunteers. According to Independent Sector, in 2023, the estimated value of a volunteer hour reached a staggering $33.49. This means that volunteers aren't just providing crucial support; they're contributing significant economic value that allows non-profits to stretch their resources further and substantially impact their communities.

My current routine for my internship with Uganda Development and Health Associates has become pretty normal for me. Every Sunday, we organize a meeting with the entire team. During this meeting, we discuss what work needs to be done for the week and distribute roles to each team member. Depending on the timeframe and urgency of each task, I typically distribute my portion of work Monday through Thursday with occasional meetings with my smaller subgroup of volunteers throughout the week.

Nonprofits have a tough job—they have to identify a distinct need in their service area, find a unique way to address that need, and then obtain the resources required to provide meaningful services. Foundations that provide grant dollars also have a tough job. They have to sift through many very worthy applicants to determine who should receive grant funding.

I feel like I have found my community! When I walk into the lunchroom every day, so many people come up to greet me and tell me how happy they are to see me. The environment embraces mistakes and celebrates them. It also celebrates asking for help. It is easy to get stuck in a rut of not asking for help, but here at camp help is always offered. In between camp sessions on what we call “intersessions” I always have friends to hang out with – whether that be watching a movie at c

Given that this is a remote internship, going into this internship, I was nervous that I would lack a sense of community, but it has given me a deeper meaning and understanding of what community means to me.
