Fiscal year closures demonstrate mixed year-end levels of private support

In this week’s survey of fundraiser outlook, we learn that organizations that finished their fiscal year in June, year-end total private support was mixed – 31% saw in increase in their total private support at year-end and 33% saw a decrease. Over two-thirds of respondents (67%) say they had a decrease in the participation rate. Nearly half of respondents who held pandemic-specific fundraising initiatives had new first-time donors, though 44% of respondents answer that they have had a decrease in the number of new donors overall.

The 90-day high negative impact increased slightly to 45% at the end of this month.
