CCS is pleased to share the results of our latest philanthropy survey!

As a premier leader in nonprofit strategic consulting, CCS Fundraising is committed to understanding how nonprofits navigate the ever-evolving philanthropic landscape and how organizations can best position themselves for fundraising success.

The 2023 CCS Philanthropy Pulse report provides a window into the fundraising practices of nearly 1,200 organizations across nonprofit sectors based on data collected in late 2022. Key findings include:

  • Organizations across the board experienced fundraising revenue growth in FY21, regardless of their size or budget.
  • Although 62% of organizations saw an increase in donors in FY21, donor retention remained a top challenge, with only 36% of organizations reporting new donor retention.
  • Organizations that invested in hiring and retaining staff exhibited more fundraising revenue growth in FY21.
  • DEI continues to be a driving fundraising strategy focus, as organizations that invested in DEI saw greater growth than those that did not.
