How to Maximize Your Nonprofit’s Year-End Giving Strategy in 2024

by

As we approach the end of 2024, it’s time for nonprofits to gear up for one of the most crucial fundraising periods of the year. Year-end giving has historically accounted for a large portion of annual donations, and nonprofits must take advantage of this critical window. Whether you’re looking to engage existing supporters or attract new donors, including those in the crypto community, here are some strategies to help you maximize your nonprofit’s year-end giving campaign.

The Real-World Impact of Crypto Fundraising Campaigns

By successfully implementing these strategies, several nonprofit organizations have seen significant donations, especially from engaging the crypto community in the past few years as highlighted in the 2024 Annual Report on Crypto Philanthropy:

Stella Artois, ArtBlocks, and Vayner3: Collaborated on a charity NFT auction supporting Water.org, raising over $200,000.

NodeMonkes NFT: Supported the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, raising 2.1 BTC (valued over $120,000) for pediatric cancer research.

reGEN and ArtBlocks: Raised more than $500,000 for Cure Parkinson’s and The ALS Association through a charity art auction.

Bored Ape Yacht Club: Donated 169 ETH (valued around $389,000) to Orangutan Outreach.

American Cancer Society: Raised $1 million in crypto donations since launching its Cancer Crypto Fund, with a goal of raising $3 million by 2027.

Variety – The Children’s Charity: Partnered with Nouns DAO for its annual kids Christmas event, creating an immersive experience for children.

Outright International: Received support from NFT projects and crypto users to advance LGBTIQ rights globally.

Save the Children: Built a strong crypto fundraising program, raising over $7 million in crypto donations.

Maximizing Year-End Giving: Key Strategies for 2024

1. Go Multi-Channel

Your donors are spread across multiple platforms—make sure your fundraising strategy is, too. This means reaching out through email, social media, and your website. 

2. Personalize Your Outreach

Donors want to feel like their contribution is making a difference. Personalize your communication by segmenting your donor base and tailoring messages to their interests and previous giving behavior. Your message to a donor that likes to write checks, would be different from your message to crypto donors who are interested in technology, transparency and privacy.

3. Embrace Digital Giving Options: Crypto, DAFs, and Stocks

Digital philanthropy is thriving, and by accepting a variety of digital donations, including cryptocurrency, Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), and stocks, your nonprofit can stand out during the year-end giving season.

Crypto donations are a powerful and growing revenue stream, with crypto donors known for their generosity and commitment to supporting causes that align with their values. Through platforms like The Giving Block, accepting cryptocurrency is straightforward and opens the door to a new group of tech-savvy, impact-driven supporters.

Similarly, accepting DAFs and stocks can further diversify your nonprofit’s donation options. DAFs allow donors to make contributions, receive immediate tax benefits, and recommend grants to your organization at a later time. Stock donations, on the other hand, let supporters give appreciated assets, which not only boosts their gift’s impact but also offers significant tax advantages.

By offering multiple digital giving options, your nonprofit can appeal to a broader range of donors while maximizing the financial impact of their contributions.

Tips to Implement Your Year-End Strategy

  • Optimize Your Donation Page: Make it easy for donors to give by ensuring your donation page is user-friendly, mobile-optimized, and clear about how donations will be used.
  • Engage Web3 Communities: Collaborate with NFT projects and other crypto organizations to expand your reach.
  • Collaborate for Greater Impact: Partnerships with web3 organizations, as seen in the Variety-Nouns DAO collaboration, can lead to highly successful fundraising campaigns.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to maximize your nonprofit’s year-end giving in 2024 and beyond. By embracing crypto philanthropy, personalizing donor communication, and using multi-channel strategies, you can make this year your best fundraising season yet.
