2Nonprofit Marketing + Fundraising Trends for 2022Foreword2021 marked a pivotal year of change in healthcare, climate, social justice, and politics and—of course—the way we interact in digital. While there were significant challenges, there was also hope. There was a surge of first-time donors to nonprofit organizations. “Small dollar” donors contributed three times more than pre-pandemic records. Overall giving grew by 4% coming off of a year where the global economy was in a state of dormancy. Mutual aid organizations cropped up around the world to support communities in need. We saw individuals and nonprofits alike building massive campaigns on TikTok and dipping their toes into cryptocurrency and NFTs. People showed up to help each other with curiosity and creativity, overcoming unprecedented challenges and delivering on the promise of community. Last year, we also launched HubSpot for Nonprofits, a dedicated program to help nonprofit organizations own their digital platforms and scale meaningful change. Keeping up with expectations in digital can feel impossible, and making sure that your technology is up to the task is just the beginning. We know that nonprofit teams are often small but mighty and have to be strategic about where you use your resources to engage with donors, increase fundraising dollars, and build relationships online. There’s power in community — join us as we dive in.Julia FordDirector of Nonprofits, HubSpot
