2. Offset Federal Funding Freezes 

While optimism is ever present among nonprofits, the federal funding freezes have a catastrophic, far-reaching impact. This is undoubtedly the case for nonprofits dependent on federal grants and those driving impact in the areas of diversity, climate change, public health, research, international aid, and immigrant assistance.    

Momentive partners with 30,000 purpose-driven organizations annually. We know there is a lot of uncertainty facing nonprofits and associations.  

Our fundraising team is already including more consultation time with every GiveSmart contract to best support our partners. We’re also bringing you more examples of others finding success during this time and offering dozens of free templates and other resources to help your organization power its mission.    

Momentive is also thrilled to announce that we are giving away free GiveSmart for a YEAR each day at Booth #910 at AFP EXCHANGE and other exciting prizes and giveaways in an ongoing initiative to support and sustain nonprofits affected by the federal funding freezes.  

 

3. Deep Dive on Donor Expectations  

Donor retention is at a near all-time low, and while the reasons why are complex, undeniably, donor expectations are shifting. Ongoing economic, generational, and social trends influence donor behavior.   

Momentive wants to help your nonprofit analyze donor behavior so you can better build lasting donor relationships and make your organization future-ready and adaptive.  

“I am counting down the days until I’m in Seattle at AFP ICON, connecting with nonprofits from all over the world. The work these organizations do to make a lasting impact across their communities is truly inspiring. They are the definition of trailblazers and I’m honored to meet with both our partner organizations and others and learn about their vision for future mission growth.”
