Higher-Ed Fundraising Benchmarks 2025: Insights from Virtuous & Phoenix Philanthropy Group

June 24 @ 2:00 pm 3:00 pm ET

Higher education nonprofits are navigating a complex landscape marked by financial uncertainty, declining enrollment, and evolving donor behaviors. Traditional fundraising strategies no longer yield the same results, leaving you struggling to meet your philanthropic goals.

The challenges are complex: donor retention rates are stagnating, average online gift sizes are decreasing, and major gift contributions are becoming less predictable. These issues not only impact immediate fundraising outcomes but threaten long-term resilience.

Join us and our friends from the Phoenix Philanthropy Group for an in-depth look at the 2025 Higher-Ed Fundraising Benchmark Report. You’ll get data-driven insights into seven critical metrics that influence fundraising success for your organization.

You’ll get a behind-the-curtain look on how higher-ed nonprofits are doing in things like:

  • Gross Donor Retention
  • Average and Median Gift Amount
  • Donor Expansion
  • Recurring Giving
  • Portfolio Balance
  • Donor Lifetime Value
  • New Donor Acquisition
  • And More!

Save Your Seat!

We’ll dissect those metrics, highlight sector-specific trends, and offer actionable strategies tailored for fundraising in higher-ed.
