Innovating Forward: Leveraging New Giving Behaviours for Nonprofit Success

The world is in transition right now and the pandemic continues to have huge impacts on charitable giving. With disruption, though, comes innovation and the folks over at CanadaHelps have been lucky enough to witness innovation in the fundraising space first hand. Watch this video to hear CanadaHelps as they walk us though some of the key takeaways from their 2021 Giving Report. During the course of this webinar, we looked at how giving behaviours across Canada have changed during the year that none of us will forget, including how start-ups are creating new ways for donors to support the causes they care about. Their presentation also focused on emerging technologies that are doubling as a new vehicle for giving that is engaging both donors and companies, and how nonprofits can harness these changes in giving behaviour for online success.
