By Amanda L. Cole

Another year is upon us, but what strategies can nonprofits implement to remain innovative? That’s precisely what NonProfit PRO’s “40 Nonprofit Trends” list aims to answer. We have released this comprehensive resource for the past 10 years. In preparation for 2025, we are asking you — our devoted readers — to once again share your insights into and expertise on what new nonprofit strategies are proving successful, as well as what is expected to move the needle in 2025.

To help shape our most popular annual resource, send us your big ideas, as well as trends for fundraising; donor engagement and behavior; technology; donor data and analytics; leadership and board strategy; and mission awareness and impact.

Here are some ideas to get you thinking:

Big Idea: What is your big idea prediction for 2024?
Fundraising: What is the latest and greatest fundraising method or tactic for 2024?
Donor Engagement and Behavior: How must nonprofits engage with donors in 2024? What donor behaviors will emerge in 2024?
