They’re playing on our natural tendencies to feel obligated […]

Not a negligible percentage at all. Here’s another test from iRaiser showing consistent results (see point […]

There’s just one thing to consider when designing a supporter journey: the supporter. More specifically, you need to take into account: Who the supporter is i.e. their identity, which is the reason they support this cause, and their personality, which describes the way they “see” and process the world. These will determine the kind of […]

I’m not an expert in this but a quick search surfaced this article on the effect of tax reforms on 2019’s charitable giving. The researchers didn’t find a reduction.

We at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine just put together an infographic to thank our fiscal year 2012-2013 donors–would be happy to share it with you, Tom!
