Why Fundraising and Donations Are More Important Than Ever for Non-profit Organizations<\/strong><\/p>\n The Coronavirus had a serious detrimental impact on the operations of non-profit organizations across the USA and the entire globe. Many charities have recently experienced an increase in demand for their services from more people finding themselves in difficult precarious situations. However, at the same time, during the pandemic there was a significant decrease in the funding charities could access. The impact of Coronavirus caused 75% of non-profit organizations to have to make cuts to their budget.<\/a><\/p>\n We have come up with some reasons why non-profits today are in need of donations from the public to support them more than ever before.<\/p>\n Funding Was Seriously Affected During the Pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n Coronavirus and the lockdowns were a difficult period for us all. The economy across the globe came to a sudden and unanticipated halt, and many people were put on furlough, forced to work remotely from home, or made redundant. Coronavirus had a big impact on the finances of individuals and families right across the country. Poverty levels in the USA soared as a result of the pandemic<\/a>, and unfortunately 57.3% of households earning less than $35,000 a year experienced income or employment loss.<\/p>\n Logically, when people have less money in their pocket, their capacity to be able to give their spare money to non-profits is severely affected, as they have to make sure they can pay to cover their own bills, rent, mortgage, car, healthcare costs, and so on.<\/p>\n Most Fundraising Events Can Now Take Place <\/strong><\/p>\n Since April 2021, most states have lifted stay-at-home orders and interstate travel restrictions. In virtually every state, you are now able to go to shopping malls, eat and drink in restaurants and bars, socialize in public spaces, go into the office, and so on. And guess what? The lifting of the lockdown restrictions means you are now able to go out and do fundraising activities for non-profits. So, get out there and raise money for a worthy cause.<\/p>\n You can get creative with your fundraising effort ideas too. Whether you decide to run a long distance and sweat loads in a fun fancy-dress costume, host a laughter filled trivia night, or put on a themed gala night where guests can be inventive and show off their best attire, it\u2019s great to help non-profits out by hosting events to fundraise lots of money for them again.
