Acquisition

During the heart of the pandemic, Louis Diez founded the Donor Participation Project, an online meetup for fundraisers to learn from one another. The project will launch its first conference this month. 

For many fundraising professionals, there is an intense focus on the annual gift solicitation, which is tremendously valuable. But what is happening before the ask? And what are we doing after the ask? How are we acquiring new donors and how are we retaining them? That's where growth funnels come in.

Dallas-based Data Axle, a data and marketing solution provider, announced it has acquired two Armonk, New York-based companies — Lake Group Media Inc., a media buying and sales agency, and DonorBase Inc., a nonprofit cooperative database...

It’s important to remember though that just because it seems easy, you, as the nonprofit, will have to make it easy for the donor to keep on giving.

There’s no turning back from the behavior changes and disruption brought about by the pandemic. Savvy companies are leveraging this digital transformation to build audience-centric strategies and grow their organizations as they re-emerge from the pandemic-driven recession...

The combined transaction value for the three Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for the social good sector reached $2 billion, which Apax cited as the largest merger and acquisition deal ever in the social good software sector. NonProfit PRO spoke to EveryAction CEO Stu Trevelyan about the deal.

So, where do new nonprofit donors come from? From putting yourself out there! Stop saying, “If people only knew about us, they’d support us.” Waiting passively for folks to be attracted to you is a losing proposition. Your job is to proactively attract them...

Technology and more people-centric (i.e., donors and supporters) ways of giving continue to expand, which is essential for nonprofit leaders to understand. For example, people could open a donor-advised fund (DAF) for very little money and give with the ease of tech platforms. Also, leading organizations, such as St. Jude, are reaching out to new audiences, like gamers, because they know they have to meet people where they are, to support a good cause.

RenPSG today announced the acquisition of Baltimore, Maryland-based Pinkaloo, a developer of modern giving solutions.

Social Solutions will acquire Athena Software to accelerate their combined pace of innovation and impact on outcomes for social good.
