Training Overview

The good times stopped rolling when fundraisers heard disheartening news at the April ADP ICON 2023 conference in New Orleans. The Fundraising Effectiveness Project shared its 2022 data:

Last year broke the positive fundraising momentum that endured since 2012
Donations to nonprofits dropped 1.7%
The number of donors declined 10%
New donor contributions decreased 8.7%

As your organization confronts the downward trend, you can take immediate actions to restore, maintain, and build your donations in 2023.
