How has the pandemic affected foundation funding? Learn about the key insights of non-profit fundraising strategies during the pandemic. Our Foundationsearch support teams speak with over 10,000 non-profits and foundations each month. Over the course of these conversations, we have learned that many of the tried and true strategies charities have relied on to guide their fundraising efforts in 2020 have proven inadequate. Worst hit has been events based fundraising, which, by some estimates, has shrunk in terms of proceeds by over 70% since March, 2020. Corporate giving is flat in the financial and tech sectors, and down significantly in most other sectors, notably energy, resources, retail, travel and hospitality.
