Most nonprofits set goals. But not all set SMART goals. (And that can make all the difference in 2025.) Why? Because vague goals don’t move missions forward. SMART ones do: Specific so you know exactly what to do. Measurable so you can track progress. Achievable so you stay motivated. Relevant to your mission. Time-bound to keep momentum. Here’s the good news: Setting SMART goals isn’t complicated. With the right focus—and the right tools—you’ll transform your nonprofit strategy for 2025. ✨ My top 5 SMART goals for nonprofits this year: 1️⃣ Increase donations by 20%. 2️⃣ Grow your volunteer base by 15%. 3️⃣ Launch a new program in Q2. 4️⃣ Boost social media engagement by 30%. 5️⃣ Conduct a year-end impact evaluation. (Each goal is tailored, actionable, and aligned with real impact.) Ready to turn these goals into a game plan? 📘Using my Digital Workbook makes it easier than ever to drive your mission forward with step-by-step strategies, examples, and tools to take your nonprofit’s impact to the next level. Click through the carousel to dive into the goals, and grab the workbook to start implementing today! P.S. What’s your top goal for 2025? Share it below! ⬇️

I admit it, I'm a big believer in the value of evaluation for nonprofits. I also recognize that it's not always the top priority for organizations, who have limited time and resources. Evaluation can even be scary for some organizations, or their staff. So I've started a blog series on evaluation--why organizations should do it, why they don't do it, and how it can be done effectively for budgets big and small. I've posted the first installment on my website and will be updating weekly. Please check it out, and please add your thoughts on the post and evaluation in the comments. https://lnkd.in/gUQ6zVUA

🚀 Super exciting day for Virtuous. 🚀 We just released our first-ever Nonprofit Fundraising Benchmark Report 📈 . In it, we analyzed data from hundreds of nonprofits to identify the key metrics that drive success. You can download the full report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ezWZHCUn Here are a few of the key findings: ✅ Donor Retention as a Critical Driver: Organizations retaining 68.5% of their donors saw a noticeable reduction in the need for constant new donor acquisition, creating more stable and predictable revenue streams. Improving donor retention rates remains the most impactful strategy for long-term nonprofit success. ✅ Growth in Gift Size: Nonprofits that prioritized upgrading gift amounts, especially from mid-level donors, saw considerable returns. Top-performing organizations in the report increased their average and median gift sizes, driving revenue growth without the need for expensive new donor acquisition campaigns. ✅ Recurring Giving for Stability: Organizations with robust recurring giving programs enjoyed smoother revenue flows and increased donor retention. The report reveals that, on average, 13% of revenue comes from recurring donors, positioning recurring giving as a game-changer for sustainable nonprofit funding. ✅ Improvement in Donor Acquisition: While retention is often the more cost-effective strategy, top-quartile organizations demonstrated excellence in new donor acquisition, with some achieving up to 64.23% new donors in 2023. These organizations strategically invested in acquisition channels with strong retention rates, yielding higher long-term returns. The Virtuous Nonprofit Fundraising Benchmark Report is a powerful tool that allows you to compare your metrics to those of other nonprofits, helping you improve your results.
