Higher ed fundraising can't keep doubling down on ineffective practices. We can't keep hoping donors give. Instead, we need to give donors hope. We need to adapt to new philanthropic realities in higher education, both to avoid wasteful, depletive fundraising and to optimize our institutions ability to produce more significant, sustainable fundraising results. This will require rethinking how we organize ourselves at every level, including the board, executive team, and advancement operation. In the largest sense, what we must be most attentive to going forward is what we've been inattentive to in the past: the growing gap between what institutions wanted and hoped for from their donors and what donors wanted and hoped for from schools, colleges and universities. In The Future of Fundraising, James M. Langley describes the changing philanthropic behaviors and expectations of our donors, then details the strategies and tactics that will allow fundraising operations and institutions to detect and catch the prevailing winds in their sails and thereby expedite the advancement of their missions and sustain donor trust. Langley contrasts old, increasingly ineffective approaches with current and emerging best practice, unpacking in practical detail how we must organize ourselves and how we must create new models of collaboration to establish a more adaptive craft. From the author of Fundraising for Presidents and Fundraising for Deans, this new book that will challenge, inspire, and empower you to create the conditions at your college or university for more sustainable philanthropic growth.

Events, including massive advances in technology and the pandemic, have wholly disrupted the nonprofit industry. Leaders must get comfortable with the certainty of change and how donors are approaching solutions to social challenges. Moreover, the lines between nonprofits and for-profits doing social good continue to blur, and donors no longer have to support nonprofits to make a difference. So, how does a nonprofit leader or fundraiser operate when the future of fundraising is rapidly changing, and one could argue that the "future" is in the present? Paul D'Alessandro has raised more than $1 billion and met with over 4,000 donors. He is a fundraising thought leader and expert with more than thirty years of experience, and he has the answers. In his book, The Future of Fundraising: How Philanthropy's Future is Here with Donors Dictating the Terms, you'll gain forward-thinking insights necessary for success. For instance, you'll learn how artificial intelligence is already changing the nonprofit sector and what's to come. You'll also take a deep dive and discover why you need to familiarize yourself with donor-advised funds, social impact investing, and even blockchain philanthropy. Finally, get insight about fundraising compensation, which may be throttling innovation-just when it's most needed. Also, understand what the mindset is of 21st Century donors in their own words. This book is a must-read for nonprofit leadership teams to ensure they know what's happening-and what's coming.

"Working from research conducted over six years with hundreds of charities and donors, 'Donor-Centered Fundraising' paints a candid picture of why donors stop giving to charities they once supported, and what it will take to preserve their loyalty in the future. In clear language and backed by statistical evidence, Penelope Burk explores the pitfalls of our traditional approaches to donor communication and recognition and articulates what donors want but seldom get from the charities they support. The book features straightforward and accessible calculations that show how much money charities are failing to raise, and offers a step-by-step procedure for testing a donor-centered alternative and gaining its acceptance in any organization."--From publisher description.
