- 2008 donorCentrics Internet Giving Benchmarking Analysis
This study provides participating organizations the information needed to benchmark their own online fundraising program performance against that of peer organizations, provides a forum for sharing best practices about online fundraising, and highlights key trends in online giving in the context of an overall fundraising program.
- Nonprofits’ Next Step Forward on the Internet
Online donors are a key growth segment for nonprofit organizations. On average, they give more initially and have a longer lifetime giving rate than conventional donors. To establish new relationships and move current constituents to interact and give online, nonprofits must shift from a static, marketing-centric website to a dynamic, interactive, and constituent-centric website.
- Online Gift Donor Profile
Blackbaud Analytics launched the study of online donor behavior in order to compile a representative profile of an “online charitable gift donor,” to find interesting trends in donor behavior, and to help the nonprofit industry understand who the best prospects for online giving are. This report outlines their conclusions and suggests several hypotheses about forces driving prospects or current donors to become online donors.
