Changes in Fundraising Since Quarantine Began

Since quarantine has began there has been many changes in the world of fundraising. Many people are out of jobs right now which means they have less money to donate. It may seem like this is the worst possible thing in the world currently, but just like anything it will pass with time. If possible, look into Coronavirus relief funds to keep your operations up. If you have the proper software, do some virtual events online to keep spirits up as well as meet with your donors to check in on them. This is a very difficult time around the world, but rethinking communications and strategy can get you through it.

Key Takeaways:

• Don't expect the worst because once you do that it starts becoming true. Figure out a way to tough out the worst times, you'll get through it.
• Make sure to always be honest with your supporters as transparency is key when dealing with fundraising and charity.
• If you have some good news, share it. This can give your donors hope and make them feel better about their investment and also make them more likely to stay on board.

“While you can’t connect individually with every donor, you can absolutely invite people to group get-togethers.”
