In today's fast-paced, tech-savvy world, these incredible generations aren't just shaping the future; they ARE the present, making up a whopping 72% of the world's workforce by 2029!
What's driving this change?
Tech-savvy and socially conscious, Millennials and Gen Z bring a unique blend of passion and commitment to causes such as welfare, healthcare, housing, and disaster relief. Armed with significant generational wealth, they are eager to make a difference, not just through financial contributions but also by becoming highly engaged advocates.
The rise of digital natives in the philanthropic space is rewriting the rules. These donors are not content with traditional methods; they seek a giving experience that mirrors their seamless online interactions, akin to their everyday online shopping habits.
Modern payment methods and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay have become non-negotiable expectations for the next-gen donor.
Our data-driven insights reveal a crucial correlation between the availability of digital payment options and the success of fundraising efforts. When Human Services organizations embrace these modern payment methods, the results are transformative— When we make it easy for donors to contribute, magic happens! Donor checkout friction goes down, trust goes up, and unplanned gifts skyrocket by 32%, with repeat donations soaring by a whopping 79%.
This shift is particularly vital when crafting appeals to attract and retain the next generation of donors. As we navigate this digital frontier, the ability to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge payment solutions becomes a strategic imperative. At Humanata, we advocate not just for embracing change but for driving it.
Why the emphasis on modern payment methods?
The advantages are multifaceted. Firstly, organizations that embrace digital wallets are statistically more likely to receive donations. The ease of the donation process is a critical factor influencing donor behavior. When contributors find it effortless to give, they are more inclined to contribute, resulting in a tangible increase in the generosity of supporters.
Consider, for a moment, the impact of providing a seamless donor experience with multiple payment options. The ripple effect is profound—a strengthened connection with your donor community, increased financial support, and a heightened ability to fulfill your mission.
To navigate this landscape successfully, it's time to wholeheartedly embrace next-generation payment methods.
Make your donation process mobile-friendly and digitally accessible to capture the attention of the tech-savvy donor demographic. By doing so, you not only attract and retain next-gen donors but also position your organization to maximize funds for your mission with lower administrative costs.
Staying ahead of the curve is not just a strategic move; it's a commitment to building a robust donor base for the future.
The philanthropic journey is evolving, and at Humanata, we are here to guide organizations through this transformative era. Let's empower change, unleash the full potential of next-gen giving, and collectively create a positive impact that resonates for generations to come.
