To explore data from 1,000+ respondents across nonprofit sectors, check out our main fourth-edition report.
This special report spotlights the 68 Religious Organization responses from CCS’s fourth-edition Philanthropic Climate Survey. Our survey results provide a snapshot of how responding organizations are persevering amid challenges, evolving their fundraising tactics, and planning for 2021 and beyond.
Findings from this report include:
- 21% of respondents reported an increase in fundraising due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 (see page 5)
- More than a third of respondents said they expect an increase in fundraising in 2021 from major gifts, annual appeals, and direct marketing (see page 9)
- Though only 39% of respondents reported conducting a virtual major gift solicitation during the pandemic, 74% of those who conducted virtual requests said they were as successful or more successful than typical in-person solicitations (see pages 16-17)
