Insights
Navigating the constantly advancing world of fundraising can seem overwhelming at times. Nevertheless, recent insights from sector articles might just help us chart the way forward. From improved guest satisfaction in museums due to staff interactions, to exploring digital strategies and the future of AI in giving, we're seeing a trend that combines quality personal interactions and smart use of technology. Here's what we're observing.
Our first port of call is with Colleen Dilenschneider's excellent article (https://www.colleendilen.com/2025/09/24/best-in-class-pfes/). From her data-driven approach, she illustrates how personal interactions between guests and staff at museums can boost visitor satisfaction, encourage return visits and improve memberships. This underlines the significance of personal touch - a key driver in shaping positive experiences within the realm of fundraising as well.
A cluster of noteworthy articles gives us a glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of digital fundraising strategies. From understanding the right balance of fundraising mail (https://futurefundraisingnow.com/2025/09/how-much-fundraising-mail-is-too-much-2/), to the importance of a consistent blogging approach (https://www.nptechforgood.com/2025/09/16/10-blogging-best-practices-for-nonprofits/) and banking on innovative strategies to raise money before year’s end (https://clairification.com/2025/09/18/12-strategies-years-end-raise-money/), these articles make a solid case for the critical role digital strategy takes in the fundraising sphere.
Moreover, effective donor appreciation strategies (https://bloomerang.com/blog/donor-appreciation/) and the significance of listening to donors (https://futurefundraisingnow.com/2025/09/not-listening-to-donors-mr-yuk-fundraising-part-3/) provide the human element in the midst of digital techniques. Equally intriguing is the concept of targeting individuals who closely identify with your cause (https://agitator.thedonorvoice.com/from-warm-glow-to-durable-giving-identity-norms/), promoting deep-rooted support.
A fascinating piece by The Fundraising Coach (https://fundraisingcoach.com/2025/09/22/how-much-to-ask-a-donor/) outlines the growing interest in tools like WealthEngine, DonorSearch, iWave and Hatch.ai - all aiming to optimise the donation ask. As AI technology continues to permeate all facets of our lives, it’s no surprise to see it inching into the non-profit sector. It offers potential to facilitate individualised, data-driven fundraising - certainly an area to watch.
