Short-term negative fundraising outlook jumps while 60- and 90-day remain stable, survey finds

The 30-day high impact to fundraising jumped this week to 53% from 34%, though the 60- and 90-day outlooks haven’t changed much, according to week 15 of SurveyLab’s weekly tracking of fundraiser outlook.

In-person donor visits jumped in June, with 17% reporting face-to-face visits and interviews. Most respondents report that advancement offices will be opening in September or later, although many answer that they don’t know when they will re-open.

Other findings:

  • Most respondents (49%) envision in-person events such as galas and reunions not returning until 2021.
  • Since March, 72% of offices report conducting phone solicitations.
