For many nonprofit organizations, the fall season is considered donor acquisition time.  But let’s take a closer look…

Right now, most nonprofits with a January-December fiscal year are reviewing their fundraising results from 2019 to see how they stack up against what was budgeted for 2020. A significant part of their analysis must include new donor acquisition.

With 2019 donor acquisition results in front of them, the prudent development officer is asking, “How can I make 2020 results even better?”

That’s why our team has put together this issue of Donor Focus! Because NOW is the time to finalize your plans for this year. Very few nonprofits attempt the process of acquiring new donors without the help of highly trusted counsel. If 2019 didn’t live up to your expectations, new counsel with new ideas just might be in order.
