Amid a shifting global market and an uncertain economic future, nonprofit leaders and political decision-makers are looking for a tangible strategy to weather the storm. While developing these strategies for sustainability, there are still constituents to communicate with, funds to raise, volunteers to manage, outreach events to plan, and overall operations to oversee.
Inflation has a direct impact on donor contributions because supporters have less to give. Political and nonprofit organizations have higher costs to maintain programs and pay staff. It's necessary to get creative in order to make up for the lack of funding. Here are a few ideas for recession-proofing your organization. - Develop a strong communication plan.
- Donors want to know that their support is making a difference. It's very important to show them how they're contributions are working for your mission.
- Consider asking your donors to increase their monthly giving by a small amount.
- Implement peer-to-peer fundraising where your supporters can solicit and collect donations on your behalf.
- Ask donors to give in honor of a friend or family member. Birthday giving makes a great gift.
- Make sure to thank your supporters for their generosity and encourage them to continue their good work.
- Come up with new ways to raise money. There are many different ways to raise money to support the work you're doing.
- Consolidate your entire workflow by using an all-in-one software solution like Argenta.
