Why your nonprofit needs a digital fundraising solution 

There are many paths to raise funds for your organization, and online fundraising is one way your organization can get there. What makes online fundraising so effective and essential in today’s landscape is the fact that people are on their phones or online for a large portion of the day.  

We found that over 55% of people prefer to donate online, and 21% of people prefer giving through social channels, apps, or texts. The world is digital and becoming more online by the day, which is why your nonprofit needs an online solution to help you reach the summit of your fundraising challenges.   

For example, even if most of your fundraising events occur in person, you can still greatly benefit from an online software solution. Registration forms, branded communication methods, and donor databases are just a few of the benefits you’ll find in an online fundraising suite.   

However, picking the right online fundraising solution for your nonprofit takes a little time and guidance, which is where our eBook comes in handy!
