Corporate giving strategies + monthly donors = your October glow-up ✨

October 2025 Newsletter

Hey Reader

October is here—pumpkin spice everything, cooler air (finally), and… nonprofit revenue strategy.

Okay, maybe that last one isn’t trending on Instagram, but according to a recent study of nonprofit leaders, the real fall priorities are clear: major gifts top the list, with diversifying revenue streams close behind.

If those are on your to-do list too, this month’s newsletter has you covered.

First up: Major gifts.
One of the smartest ways to grow them is through corporate giving. Last year, corporations donated a whopping $44 billion to nonprofits—a jump of more than 9% from the year before. The kicker? Most organizations still aren’t tapping into that potential. Our latest article, “Corporate Partnerships Fundraising Strategy: Best Practices for Nonprofits,” breaks down how to actually build those win-win relationships with businesses.

Next: Diversifying revenue.
If you’re not already leaning on monthly donors, you’re missing out on one of the most predictable, donor-loyalty-building strategies around. Want to start (or upgrade) your program? I’m hosting a free webinar with the Nonprofit Learning Lab on Monday, October 13th. Over 330 nonprofit professionals are already signed up—don’t let them have all the fun (and insights).
