Many of us have been touched, in one way or another, by COVID-19. Within g-company's non-profit team, almost all our relations have the goal of making the world a little better; an objective to which we try to contribute from our core competence.\u00a0<\/p>

If you depend on fundraising for this, it hits you hard if you have to cancel the annual collection. Or if you can't organise events for potential donors.\u00a0<\/p>

Moreover, the corona crisis is also impacting projects and programmes. It is clear that the focus on COVID-19 globally compromises the fight against other life-threatening diseases. Finally, the ensuing economic crisis, will affect the resources available for, for instance, poverty reduction and nature and environment policies. In short, the corona crisis is putting pressure on both the income and mission of many charities, NGOs, humanitarian organisations and (advocacy) associations.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/pre>
Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>
The good news is that, as always in a crisis, there are also opportunities for non-profit organisations. We see the resilience with which many organisations are responding.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Now the time has really come for them to modernise and digitise fundraising. Reaching the (potential) donor at the right time, via the right channel, with the right content. Certainly not less personal, on the contrary!\u00a0<\/p>
\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>
Impact<\/strong><\/h3>
Linked to this, I also see a tendency for organisations to develop a focus on understanding the actual impact of their activities. How many people do we reach with the water pumps built? What is the effect on prosperity in a region? What research results on brain disorders do the invested funds yield?\u00a0<\/p>
Being able to show that impact is essential to keep donors and funders engaged in your mission. We see this in an increase in the number of projects together with our partner Vera Solutions and their app Amp Impact<\/a>.<\/p>
The realisation is now penetrating rapidly. And that is precisely where I see the huge opportunities for the years after 2020. Years in which your organisation too, via a digital transformation, can strengthen its impact. I am enormously looking forward to realising this together!<\/p>
On behalf of all of g-company, I wish you a relaxing and peaceful Christmas and a healthy, happy and impactful 2021!<\/strong><\/h4>

Some more good news from Arn\u00e9 Dutij, managing director of Data Inside:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>
\"Our trend dashboard shows that donors at home are supporting us more actively and with larger amounts than last year. This is good news precisely because many charities are losing income because they can no longer use channels such as face-to-face, collection, events (optimally). However, when the donor at home receives a request to support, despite (or perhaps precisely because of) this difficult time, they reward this request more often and with higher amounts.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Companies depending on fundraising are hit hard, especially if they got forced to cancel their annual collections. Or if they are not able to organize events to acquire new donors. Furthermore, the corona crisis also has impacted projects and programmes: it is evident that the focus on COVID-19 will harm the battle against other life-threatening diseases. Lastly, the economic crisis that follows from this, will have consequences for the available means to counter poverty and global warming.<\/p>

\"From our trends dashboard, it appears that the 'stay-at-home' donor supports us more actively and with greater amounts than last year. This is good news, because lots of charities lose parts of their income because they cannot rely on e.g. face-to-face collections and events.<\/em><\/p>\n
