The science of
FUNDRAISING
According to the latest research, we know why donors give, how to encourage future giving, and how to meaningfully engage donors year-round .
Have you ever wondered why some donors give once and you never hear from them again? Or, why some donors give the same amount, at the same time every year?
It turns out, according to psychology and neurobiology, different donors have different motivations for giving. And, once we know what drives their giving, we can communicate with them in a way that aligns with those motivations.
But that's not where the research ends. We also have information on how to retain donors, acquire new donors, how to make the most out of fundraising events, how to best leverage cause marketing campaigns, and so much more.
At the Nonprofit Science Institute, we pulled the research together into a one-of-a-kind program that not only teaches you the information, but also helps you implement it.
This program is for you if:
- You are stuck- in spite of your efforts, you can't seem to encourage larger gifts
- You need more - the needs of your community are changing and you need more funding to keep up
- You are overwhelmed- you have a small fundraising team (or you ARE the fundraising team)
- You need help and don't have a lot of time
