Survey finds 30-, 60-, and 90-day outlook for fundraising stabilizing

The fundraising outlook for the next 30, 60, and 90 days remains relatively stable this week with about half or less of respondents signaling a high negative impact to fundraising in those time frames. Of the 1,276 respondents to week 10 of SurveyLab’s weekly tracking survey, 51% are expecting a high negative impact to fundraising over 30 days, 37% are expecting a moderate impact, and 11% are anticipating a low impact.

The 60-day outlook shows 40% of respondents predicting a high negative impact, 40% predicting moderate impact and 17% predicting low impact, a figure that has steadily risen throughout May.

Looking 90 days out, sentiment has remained particularly stable throughout May, with high negative impact at 38% this week, up from 37% last week. Moderate impact predictions are down slightly to 33% this week from 36% last week, while low impact in 90 days fell to 8% from 10% last week.

Very few respondents (5%) report conducting in-person solicitations, donor visits and interviews, or events, suggesting that few offices are transitioning to any in-person activities.
