deepening community need.

increase in demand

National Council of Nonprofits 2014 Nonprofit Trends to Watch
Demand for services continues to grow
• Individual donations are slightly rising overall, but donors are taking a more strategic approach
• Larger gifts to fewer organizations
• Making choices based on specific, measurable impact that they expect their gift to bring to the
community
• Investing vs. donating
• Corporations and businesses are becoming more strategic in their giving approach as well
• Nonprofits are being held to the same kind of measurable standards as the private sector
• Companies are directing philanthropic dollars towards causes that directly impact their businesses
(health, community quality, education, environment)
For institutional use only. Distribution to Any Other Audience Prohibited
Donors are being more strategic
• Comprehensive gift planning is becoming increasingly more important as donors are becoming
more targeted and strategic in their giving
- 70.9% of high net worth households have a strategy and philanthropic budget
- 74% of high net worth households report giving because they are moved at how their gift can make a
difference
- 76.4% of high net worth households feel a “sense of accomplishment because my charitable activity leads
to results/direct impact”
• Creating awareness of your impact and vision with professional advisors is necessary
- Donors are increasingly depending on outside advisors versus development professionals
 Accountant consulted 53.4% 2012 up from 44.3% in 2007
 Financial/wealth advisors 36.9% 2012 up from 27.8% in 2007
 Nonprofit personnel 33.4% 2012 up from 26% in 2007

Donors are being more strategic
• Nonprofit Organizations that can demonstrate that they are delivering donors a significant
“Bang for their Buck” will thrive, while those that struggle to clearly define impact and
measurable results will face an uphill battle.
• Clearly defined mission
• Powerful Impact statement
• Clear and transparent strategic plan
• Sound Fiscal practices
• Donor Stories are significant
• What Donors are Saying:
• We are giving money through an organization, not to an organization
• We won’t give to an organization because they have needs; we will give to an organization
because they meet needs

Summarizing demand and giving patterns
For institutional use only. Distribution to Any Other Audience Prohibited.
• Nonprofit organizations will be viewed in a new light, along the same philosophical thought
process that consumers use for other major investments
• Is it effective?
• What is the impact?
• Will it last?
• Will it get the job done?
• Consolidation of nonprofits seeking to achieve the same mission
• Can be more cost effective
• Streamlined
• Sustainable
• “Nonprofit” viewed more as a tax-status and less as a business model
• Increased merging of nonprofit and for-profit business practices
• Joining sustainability and effectiveness in operations with mission-driven passion

A revaluing process in on the horizon
• Looking to the future …
• Supporters will be able to observe real-time mission delivery through
mobile devices.
• Nonprofit organizations having a comprehensive understanding of all the
ways their supporters interact with them can tailor branded experiences
for each and every supporter.
• The use of mobile technologies will more than double for most nonprofit
organizations in the coming year.
Source: Peering into the Nonprofit Crystal Ball, Marc Chardon
Technology is evolving and will play a major role for both
nonprofit organizations and their supporters
For institutional use only. Distribution to Any Other Audience Prohibited.
1. The Authentic Voice: Donors want authenticity
• “Humanvertizing – a real look at the organization and Mission
• Market to address concerns
• Tell Where the donation is going (Impact)
2. The Superpower of Stories
• Nothing generates emotional investment (or lack thereof) in mission then telling real-life stories
• “ When you tell a story to a friend, you can transfer experiences directly to their brain…As you relate
someone’s desires through a story they become the desires of the audience.” Psychology Today, 6/6/11
3. Photo Assembling
• Photos are the evolutionary preference for consuming information in a short amount of time
• The use of amateur photos – authentic, real, picture-driven story of the mission you serve!
4. Crowdsourced Inspiration
• Virtual Tours and webinars bring each and every donor or prospect the opportunity to be “in” the
organizations presence, “in” the life of the people the organization serves, and “in” the passion of the
mission and impact of the organization

Marketing – Communications
What the nonprofits are saying
(2014 Nonprofit Communications Trend Report – Nonprofit Marketing Guide)
• One of the most prominent laws affecting nonprofit accountability is the federal law known as
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
-Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires nonprofits to have a Whistleblower Protection and Document retention policy
• Donors are becoming more savvy – asking key questions and doing their research
-Be prepared. Ask yourself - Accountability and Transparency standards are essential
What do our financials look like? Do they tell a story about our objectives and impact?
How does our executive compensation compare to similar organizations?
How are the rating agencies rating us?
Can we articulate our programmatic impact?
• Your financials should tell a story and be part of the marketing and communication with
supporters
-Communicating vision and measuring impact is critical
• In addition to their fiduciary role, Board members need to be strong community advocates and
embrace the culture of accountability and transparency
For institutional use only. Distribution to any other audience is prohibited.
Accountability and Transparency standards are essential
• Sophisticated donors are asking about endowment performance, and the process through
which investment decisions are made
• The Board is entrusted with significant fiduciary responsibility to oversee the assets of the
nonprofit and ensure they are being used to fulfill its mission
• Duty of care (prudence)
• Duty of loyalty
• Duty of obedience
Prudent policies and practices should be in place
• Investment Policy Statement
• Spending Policy
• Investing for mission vs. return on investment
• Socially responsible and mission related investment decisions
For institutional use only. Distribution to any other audience is prohibited.
Investment performance continues to be on donors’ minds
Collaboration and Strategic Partnerships are being considered
• The economic environment has created a need, and in many cases an opportunity, for strategic
partnerships and collaboration
• Collaborations are not just an option for cash strapped nonprofits. The right partnerships can:
• Strengthen effectiveness and increase impact
• Expand reach more cost effectively
• Efficiently utilize scarce resources
• Leverage strengths
• Knowing your strengths is key to successful collaborative relationships. Organizations should
be asking the questions:
• Does our organization solve this problem, offer this service or implement this program effectively and
efficiently?
• Do we do it better than everyone else?
• Is there an opportunity to partner or collaborate with another organization?

Rating Accountability and Transparency
There are a variety of organizations referred to as “Charity Watchdogs” that rate charities against various measurement standards. Many of these
standards include specific expectations for ethical conduct and accountability, primarily in relation to a nonprofit’s relationship with its donors.
-Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance: Standards for Charity Accountability
-Charities Review Council: Accountability Standards
-Charity Navigator considers whether a nonprofit has a “donor privacy policy” in its evaluation
