You don’t have to be a multi-million dollar organization to have an amazing donor development program. Because of smaller budgets and fewer constituents, a small or mid-sized organization’s fundraising efforts can look different from those of a larger organization. Both advantages and disadvantages exist for smaller or mid-sized nonprofits when it comes to fundraising and donor development.
More and more organizations are finding success through peer-to-peer fundraising—getting their supporters to create fundraisers and collect donations on the organization’s behalf. When your supporters fundraise for you, great things happen.
Many growing nonprofit organizations have often pondered the same thing, “Is it time for a capital campaign?” A capital campaign usually helps fund a special project — typically, a new building or renovations to old buildings. Unlike an annual campaign, which focuses on fundraising to cover ongoing expenses, the capital campaign often comes along as the organization experiences new growth and is focused on a specific building need.
