Javan Van Gronigen, Founder of Donately considers 2025 as a year of testing the water for peer-to-peer and crowdfunding for political and advocacy campaigns. AI is enabling organizations to create and deploy fundraising content more quickly and target specific audiences. Increasingly, digital tools are showing effectiveness for all donor levels, whether turning a small-dollar donor into a recurring one or engaging a major supporter.

We talk about

  • Digital outreach to mobile-first donors
  • Common mistakes on donation pages, including overly complicated forms
  • Value of fundraising appeals tied to rapid response to current events
  • Need to create compelling stories about real people to motivate donors
