The 2024 CCS Philanthropy Pulse report offers invaluable perspectives on the present and future state of philanthropy based on data CCS collected from over 600 organizations across nonprofit sectors in late 2023.
Key Findings:
- Fundraising revenue grew across the board in FY22. However, organizations with larger fundraising budgets saw better revenue performance than that of their peers.
- With donor retention a top challenge, only 48% of organizations reported retaining over half their new donors in the previous 12 months.
- Only about one-third of organizations increased fundraising staff in 2023, but 68% have increased staff pay.
- While fundraiser comfort in using data has increased over the past 3 years, most organizations are not yet leveraging AI technology.
