How is your year-end giving campaign going?
We know most nonprofits start in the September/October time frame, so hopefully you’re already seeing donations come in. Why is this timing so important? According to research, nearly a third of charitable giving occurs in December, with about 12 percent of that in the last three days of the year! It’s so significant, it’s called, “Giving Season”. But you know that! About two-thirds of people are giving throughout the year but the numbers still skew heavily to the fourth quarter. Some sources say nearly half of a nonprofit’s funds are generated by year-end giving campaigns. Maybe we’ll have a blog next spring to help you draw some of those funds into your organization earlier in the year!

Giving Day 2022 is November 29th this year and many generous credit union members will give to their favorite nonprofits like they do every year.

We know that the average age of a credit union member is 53 years, which encompasses some older Generation X and some younger Baby Boomers.

3 Tips to Engage Donors
Donations are the lifeblood of financial sustainability for many nonprofit organizations. For nonprofits that rely heavily on the generosity of individual donors, it can be difficult to plan future initiatives without knowing there is a steady source of funding. Engaged donors that give regularly are incredibly valuable to help nonprofits sustain programs and execute financial planning for the future. Donor engagement involves all programs and actions you take to make sure your donors are involved, thanked for their contributions, and strategically asked for donations in the future. Strategic donor engagement programs have demonstrable benefits that go far beyond traditional donations.

Give Freely to Your Favorite Nonprofit
Caring for our communities is important. There are so many impactful organizations doing good things in your community that you likely already support. Most of these organizations depend on your donations to fund vital programs to help support those in need. Nonprofits are losing 18 billion dollars a year to fee’s associated with processing donations. NetGiver wants to ensure that your favorite nonprofit doesn't become a part of this statistic. We believe nonprofits should not have to lose any of their money to donation processing fee’s. We aim to help further the causes you love by making sure more of your money goes directly to the nonprofit.
