8 strategic steps to take for an outstanding 2025

As the year comes to a close, fundraising teams must prepare for what lies ahead in the new year. With opportunities and challenges on the horizon, it’s important that nonprofits are ready.

Over the past year, fundraisers across sectors have frequently asked us questions like:

• How can we secure more Donor-Advised Fund gifts?
• How should my team be using AI effectively?
• What does a second Trump administration mean for charitable giving? 

While we can’t predict the future, we do know a few key themes will shape 2025: the growing popularity of non-cash giving, the continual adoption of Artificial Intelligence in the nonprofit sector, and the evolving economic and political climate.
