Nonprofits reporting longer-term impact of COVID-19 on fundraising

September responses show a slight downturn in the 30, 60, and 90-day high negative impact on fundraising. Forty-two percent (42%) of September respondents expect a 90-day high negative impact, the lowest projection we’ve seen since June.

As institutions continue to report their fiscal year-end numbers, there is an uptick in the number of respondents who had an increase in total private support this year (41%).  Overwhelmingly, respondents had lower participation rates (69%) and fewer new donors (54%) compared to the previous year. Nineteen percent (19%) of respondents in September say that their fundraising offices are already open for in-person work, though respondents most commonly answer they are planning to reopen in 2021 (33%) or that they don’t know (33%).
