Nonprofits rely on the dedication of employees who believe in their cause and mostly run by volunteers. On every 1000 people there are around four nonprofits in urban areas and 2.3 nonprofits in rural areas, in India. All fighting for one purpose, that is to address the social and political issues.

The issues like providing the basic necessities of water, food and clothing to the needy section of society, to fight against the social discrimination and exclusion, to provide the equal rights to men, women, transgenders, provide elementary education, skill raining, fight against domestic violence and the list goes on. Nonprofits rely on donations  to be able to successfully accomplish their established mission. Fundraising is the NPO’s lifeblood. It enables them to achieve their mission by helping others and bringing in more resources to fund their efforts.

What are the challenges that NPO face while fundraising?

1. Finding New Donors: People nowadays have become more aware, and they think twice before giving their money, even for a noble cause. They will do their research, talk to friends and family, and if the NPO’s name does not come up in their study, they will hesitate to donate.
2. Donor Retention: Someone can donate once, for believing in the cause or due to their emotional reasons, but getting them to donate twice and more regularly is a tough task.
3. Lack of Resources: Many times, the NPOs do not have funds or resources or knowledge to invest in some campaigns like email campaigns, community events, video campaigns and to build and retain donor interest.

To fight all or some of the above fundraising issues, online fundraising solutions can be really handy and helpful. They have automated marketing systems that make raising money fast and simple.
