As we look to a new generation of donors, it is now more important than ever for charities to align their understanding of what drives and engages donors and prospects.

Standard Content

Fundraising is being reshaped by Millennials and Gen-Z. The next generation of donors promises to be the most significant group in history — shaping our world and our sector in profound ways.

With a younger generation starting to disrupt the ‘traditional’ ways of philanthropy, is your organisation ready to embrace the change?

This course was interesting and informative. I gained useful insights into Gen Z and how I can approach the next stage of my fundraising strategy. It is so important to start engaging with Gen Z fundraisers and I feel that I now have a solid basis of understanding in how to do that.

  • Understand the shift in our donors’ profiles and how to adapt to this change in cohort
  • Recognise what charities and your specific organisation must do strategically to evolve with these new donors
  • Value the opportunities and challenges which come with this new generation of donors and solutions to capitalise on these opportunities and/or overcome challenges
  • Understand the world of a GenZ donor, their values, and philosophies
  • Create impactful NextGen donor engagement and stewardship programmes
