Where Does Philanthropy Stand?

An unstable economy has shaken both non-profits and their donors to the core.

Stock holdings have radically declined in value with some companies losing up to 90% of their value. Every company and executive has been affected in some way.

The Past Projects the Future

Corporate giving is most immediately affected in an economic downturn: corporate foundations are funded with annual profits. Most corporate foundations have been affected by the economic downturn – the effects will be felt for years to come.

Foundation giving tends to scale down over a three year period: giving budgets usually represent a three year rolling average.

Individual giving has the greatest resiliency and donors respond in difficult times.

Corporate Giving and Today’s Economy

45% of businesses surveyed in 2009 (Corporate Contributions Report Survey, February 2009) said they had already reduced the amount they plan to donate this year.

Another 16% were considering cuts. 35% of companies said they would make fewer grants this year

and 21% said the grants they made would be smaller. As they complete their giving budgets for, corporate officials

said they were most concerned about financial constraints, the recession and the alignment of their giving with their business’s needs.

Among types of gifts, sponsorships of events take the biggest hit, 55% of businesses said they would cut back on that form of giving.

Foundations and the Economy

Fewer Foundations Anticipate Decreasing the Number and Size of Grants in 2010. The vast majority of foundations responding to the Foundation Center’s latest “Foundation Giving Forecast Survey” anticipate making no changes in their grantmaking strategies in 2010. In contrast, a year ago close to two-thirds of respondents (63 percent) expected to reduce the number of grants they awarded and/or the size of their grants. Nonetheless, the shares of foundations that anticipate reducing the number and size of their grants in 2010 continue to be larger than the shares that anticipate increases, reflecting continuing repercussions from the economic crisis.

Individual Giving and the Economy

Despite the significant downturn in economic conditions in recent years, the percentage of U.S. adults opening their wallets to charitable organizations has hardly diminished. More than four in five Americans continue to say they donated money to a charitable cause or organization in the past 12 months -- now 84%, compared with 87% in December 2005.

Volunteering and the Economy

According to the Gallup data, fewer Americans part with their time than their money on behalf of charity groups. Sixty-four percent of Americans currently say they have volunteered their time to a charity in the past 12 months, similar to the 62% recorded in 2005. Americans still prefer to give of their money rather than their time.

Fund Raising Professionals Concerns

Keeping professional fund raising staff and volunteers motivated.

The impact of reduced endowment income on operating budgets

Some foundation officers are more concerned about ensuring the viability of non-profit institutions than launching new initiatives.

Institutions are being forced to develop contingency plans in light of possible reductions in philanthropic support.

Fund Raising Professionals Concerns

The reluctance of some non-profit leaders (CEOs and trustees) to solicit, or even contact donors right now.

The inclination of some non-profit leaders to retrench when the desired approach by experienced professionals should be to move forward strategically.

Donors appear to be waiting for the stabilization of the markets to assess the crisis’ impact on their personal holdings.www.mgifundraising.com 1-800-387-

Current Impact of Economy

New donor acquisition from direct mail is down considerably in some institutions.

Significant negative impact on some direct mail programs.

Some galas and dinners are experiencing 10 – 15% fall off from the previous year.

Strategic Opportunities

Despite the economy, there are strategic opportunities to explore. People are more empathetic. The media are listening. Large gifts are more powerful

and get more attention. Many people have funds to

give. Prospects will come to

events, discussions, and site visits. They want to stay informed, even if they can’t respond immediately.

Giving Motivations

81.2% of wealthy donors said they are most motivated to give by the notion of “giving back to the community.”

70.7% gave because they “support the same organizations or causes annually.”

70.4% give because of their “social beliefs.”

48.1% gave because they were asked!

Why People Don’t Give Anymore

Nearly 60% of wealthy households who stopped giving to a charitable organization attributed their change in philanthropic behavior to no longer feeling connected to the organization.

Merely 14.7% said that they stopped giving because of “lack of finances.

42.3% said they received too frequent solicitations from the organization and 8% felt they weren’t being properly recognized for their donations.

Why People Don’t Give Anymore

70% of donors give to the same organization year after year.

In 2007, 38% of donors stopped supporting a charitable organization, with more than one-quarter (26%) of those surveyed discontinuing support for at least two organizations.

19% stopped giving to four or more charities.

Top 5 Reasons Why People Give

1. Because they are asked, or presented a giving opportunity.

2. To give back to their community

3. Compassion for those in need

4. Personally believe in the cause

5. Affected by the cause

This is based on an analysis of research in the field of philanthropy – including Indiana University’s Center on Philanthropy, Independent Sector, the University of Pittsburgh and others.

individual solicitations to volunteers, staff, others• marketing needs for each strategy• budget and funding for each strategy

Capital Campaign Planning and the Current Economy

Most organizations are in one of three stages of campaigning: Initial planning Just Started Well underway

Key issues to be considered Financial Goals Timing Case priorities Prospect Development Gift payment structuring Donor engagement, solicitation

and communication strategies.www.mgifundraising.com 1-800-387-9840

Should we go/not go?

List GO and NO GO considerations:

Financing availability Case relevance and

urgency Prospect pool capacity Leadership availability Timing Issues

Campaign Planning in this Economy

Inclusive Planning Involve most influential

trustees and some major donors in your planning activities.

Bring your prospects along with you.

Include prospects in your campaign planning.

Timing Issues

Timing issues to consider: Extended planning phase Longer campaign timetable Flexibility with public kick-

off announcement and definitive ending date

Urgency of campaign Some campaigns have

greater urgency and the case for support in this economy may be more compelling and supportable despite the economic factors

Case Issues

Case considerations in this challenging economy: Program support is

compelling Building projects

dependent on financing Shovel-ready projects are

good for economic recovery

Endowment is less attractive

Challenge and matching gifts strengthen case

Case Issues

Some case issues are particularly compelling right now! Public higher education Human rights Wildlife Conservation

and climate change Domestic hunger relief Medicine/innovation/

science Global health

Well Underway

If you are WELL UNDERWAY into a campaign know that: It will take longer You may have to revise your timetable You should reorder priority prospects You may have to revise case

statement, emphasizing critical programs and de-emphasizing endowment

You might offer to restructure gift payments

You should seek multi-year commitments

You should always publicize your good news!

General Development Strategies

1. Focus Mission and Case2. Develop a short-term Action Plan3. Increase Activity4. Increase Prospect Research5. Prioritize Prospects6. New Gift Structures7. Include Beneficiaries in Donor

engagement

General Development Strategies (Continued)

8. Targeted Requests9. Publicize New Gifts10. Challenge Gifts11. Introduce Payment Flexibility12. Explore Diversification13. Motivate14. Share Philanthropic Information

Tip #1

Reaffirm your mission and continuously remind donors of the impact and urgency of philanthropic support

Tell your story in a way that inspires investment despite or because of the challenges presented by the economy

Tip #2 Increase activity including visits

and briefings with donors and friends, and consistent communication.

Your strategy is to “out hustle the economy” by making more visits and working harder to reach people.

Keep your long-term donors close and your new donors even closer.” These visits will tell you three things Who is ready to give Who needs more time and roughly

how long what elements of your case

resonate among donors.

Tip #3

Develop a short term action plan.

Direct contact and visits with top donors

Special gatherings and forum (s) among donor and prospect network

Create a 2 year development plan

Immediate financial priorities Prospect sequencing Support diversification

Tip #4

Stay in touch. Now is the time to intensify cultivation efforts. Make personal calls on prospects and donors, letting them know how important your work is and how your organization is successfully facing current demands and how important they are. Let them know you won’t be calling on them for a gift until a more appropriate time…but you will be coming back.

Remember 60% of wealthy households who stopped giving attributed their change in philanthropic behavior to no longer feeling connected to the organization

Tip #5

Retain your current donors as a central strategy

Tip #6

Reactivate your Past Supporters (SYBUNTS)

Tip #7

Monitor shifts in timing and behavior

Tip #8

Correlate Geography and the Economy

Tip #9Correlate Industry and the Economy

Tip #10

Getting the Right Story for Donor Acquisition.

Use new technologies to tell your story

Tip #11

Tip #12

Use new technology to secure and collect pledges.

Tip #13

Recognize donors. Pay greater attention than ever to the aggressive stewardship of your present donors. Let them know how important they are to you. Work with a small task force (staff and volunteers) to design a detailed and structured program. Put it in writing. How many times can you thank your donors in a year?

Tip #14Dare to Ask!!!

Personal (face to face

solicitation – by a carefully

selected and well-trained

volunteers who have

made a financial commitment

Campaigns fail raise above

the “clutter” because they

fail to “ASK”.
