The results are now in, and they show
How much money is currently being donated locally, by geography and by issue (spoiler: $1.46 billion in total!)
What exactly drives those donations in each area and for each cause (according to the donors themselves)
What local donors think specifically of hundreds of individual nonprofits
Why donors would (or would not) consider donating to your nonprofit
What potential donors look for in new nonprofits
What messaging and pathways are most effective
What donors want to hear from nonprofits (and what they don’t)
And much more
The Donor Pool Builder has a mountain of local data from Greenwich to Shelton and every town in between. Please contact Founder Bruce Paul () to get a peek at some of your own local data and to see how it can help you Build your Donor Pool.
