With each new year, fundraisers face new challenges and new opportunities that deserve our attention and 2025 is no exception. But we know we can’t do it all, so prioritizing what’s important for our own organizations, teams and donors is key.

We hope that by highlighting some of the fascinating and inspiring insights and shifting mix and demographics in our donor audiences, we can support or even shift your thinking to what’s important now and what’s important to start considering strategically in the near future.
