    The dip in donations is a bit concerning, though a fantastic opportunity is often undervalued. We have gotten a bit lazy talking at people rather than with them. What I think will be best is genuine relationship building and intentionality with every supporter. The outcome usually involves more consistent funding and advocates if we listen well.

    The biggest takeaway for me is that a dip in donations shouldn’t automatically mean cutting back. It’s a reason to strengthen donor relationships and communicate the mission more clearly. The article emphasizes reconnecting with past donors, upgrading existing supporters, and showing people the real impact of their gifts rather than relying on fear or urgency. I would also add that nonprofits can use technology such as the Nonprofit Check Plus API to verify nonprofit information efficiently, helping build the transparency and trust that encourage donors to keep supporting a cause.
