#NonprofitLeaders, how are you navigating the #Challenges & #Opportunities that present themselves this Election Year? 🗳️ Love this recent breakdown from The NonProfit Times which goes into the myths and realities of election-year fundraising. Key takeaway 👉 Political donations don’t replace contributions to other #Nonprofits. In fact, for every $1 a donor gives to Presidential candidates, they give $100 to charity! 👀 #BuildBetter

🚨 As the 2024 US presidential election draws near, nonprofits have a unique opportunity to engage and maximize their giving efforts! 🌟 Political campaigns may be making headlines, but charitable giving remains strong during election years. Here are key strategies for nonprofits to thrive: 🔹 Take bold, clear stances 🔹 Leverage digital platforms 🔹 Ensure tech readiness 🔹 Refine your outreach 🔹 Stay mission-focused Prepare now to navigate this election year and keep your cause front and center! 💪 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eupNmuzi Written by Crystal Harvey, MS #Nonprofits #Fundraising #2024Election #NonprofitStrategy #GivingTuesday

Are you concerned about how the election could negatively impact nonprofit fundraising in 2024? 😬 This article provides several helpful suggestions to keep your communications plan nimble around the volatile election cycle 🧭 I’d add two more things: 1️⃣ DAFs can not be used to donate to c4s or political campaigns - generally only 501(c)3s are DAF eligible ✅ So with DAF fundraising, you’re not “competing” with other possible use of funds 🤩 It’s a critical year to more proactively engage with DAF fundraising as a buffer against those possible election impacts 🛡️ DAF Day is on October 10th for a reason! It gives every nonprofit a shared event to activate more of those $230 billion in DAFs set aside for charitable giving 🙌🏼 2️⃣ I think the biggest threat to nonprofit fundraising success and donor participation is not a high dollar election, it’s apathy 🤷🏼♂️ I’m optimistic that the increased passion and energy around this election will energize people to be engaged in society more broadly ⚡️ With more hope, comes a greater likelihood of believing in nonprofit causes and taking action to support them 💪🏽 Maybe we can find more ways to speak to that increased hope with our fundraising efforts instead of fearing distraction? 💞 #nonprofit #fundraising #philanthropy

A very interesting article and research done on the intersection between nonprofits and fundraising with the upcoming 2024 US presidential election by Candid. We highly recommend! Here's a quick summary: Chris Maddocks from Blue State conducted a study and found that "Donors in swing states are less likely to give to nonprofits in 2024" as donors in those states are so overwhelmed with political solicitations, that they "tune out" of fundraising appeals entirely. He gives these 3 tips to nonprofits to fundraise despite the troubling statistics 1. Tailor and target messaging to see if it sounds political. Younger generations respond better to that, while older will tune out. 2. Diversify your campaign outreach to multiple channels 3. Embrace data-driven decisions & don't be afraid to lay off campaigning in battle states Read the full article here:
