We now live our lives in an omnichannel manner; we consistently, and fluidly, move between online, offline, social, and direct means and resources to achieve our daily demands. In following suit with these evolving cultural norms and habits, fundraising programs are no longer relegated to direct, siloed channels, but now operate in an omnipresent environment where all channels influence and interact with one another. In addition to adapting to this multilayer approach, nonprofits now also have to battle fierce and growing competition for fundraising dollars. Donors today have more options to support a cause near and dear to their hearts because of the oncoming wave of nonprofit organizations entering the scene. With more choices and more technological resources to interact, donors are inundated with fundraising opportunities and nonprofits must continuously strive to differentiate their organization and their ask. Nonprofits no longer have the option of dabbling in multichannel campaigns – it is now a prerequisite. However, despite these increasing demands for omnipresent engagement, many organizations are asking their fundraising teams to “do more with less”, to find ways to grow the program without the supporting budget to do so. To meet this challenge, nonprofits need to maximize the potential ROI for every fundraising initiative, channel and campaign.
