Earlier this month, Uber and Lyft left the Texas capital of Austin, but a new venture is stepping up to fill the void while adding a philanthropic twist.

People are far more distracted than they were a decade ago, which means that even the most experienced fundraiser must continually evolve—something the industry has found difficult at times—and leverage new outlets to increase donations. Is it possible that our inability to adapt or unwillingness to change is a primary reason for our industry’s declining performance?...

Give Local America, a single-day, online-only fundraising event, happened on May 3. This annual rally brought thousands of people together to support local nonprofits in their communities.

Here are some key takeaways from Sanders’ email fundraising campaign...

The top 10 U.S. charities combined for more than $59 billion in revenue in 2015 alone. Chances are, your nonprofit isn't quite on that level. According to Independent Sector, just 4 percent of nonprofits top $10 million in annual revenue, while 75 percent of charities have annual expenses of less than $500,000.

American Cancer Society wants to be the Amazon of the nonprofit sector, in its online presence, anyway. It makes sense. Forbes ranked it as the 10th-largest U.S. charity in 2015, and as it has grown, it has significantly expanded its online footprint.
