October 22 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET
Join us for an in-depth webinar as we unpack the key insights from the Virtuous Benchmark Report and reveal how education nonprofits can leverage data to drive fundraising success. Co-hosted by SJ Consulting, this session will provide actionable strategies to help you optimize donor retention, gift amounts, and overall revenue growth.
What Youโll Learn:
- Balancing Your Giving Portfolio: Major gifts may be a strength for education institutions, but the report highlights the need to diversify revenue streams. Learn how increasing small and mid-level giving can mitigate risks and strengthen your fundraising program.
- Donor Retention is on the Rise: Discover how educational institutions outperform pre-COVID trends by improving donor retention rates that preserve revenue and open new growth opportunities.
- The Power of the Second Gift: Learn why securing the second gift is more impactful than the first and how closing the gap between first and second donations is key to long-term donor retention.
- Education Gift Amounts Lead the Pack: See how educational institutions are outpacing other sectors in both average and median gift amounts, particularly in online giving.
- Donor Expansion: The Growth Driver: While retaining donors is essential, growing your donor base is crucial for revenue expansion. Even small increases in annual giving can significantly enhance your programโs performance over time.
- The Recurring Giving Opportunity: Education nonprofits lag in recurring giving, but the data shows steady improvement. Discover the steps you need to build a recurring giving program.
