2023 Philanthropy pulse report
The 2023 CCS Philanthropy Pulse report provides a window into the fundraising practices of nearly 1,200 organizations across nonprofit sectors based on data collected in late 2022.

Key Findings:
- Organizations across the board experienced fundraising revenue growth in FY21, regardless of their size or budget.
- Although 62% of organizations saw an increase in donors in FY21, donor retention remained a top challenge, with only 36% of organizations reporting new donor retention.
- Organizations that invested in hiring and retaining staff exhibited more fundraising revenue growth in FY21.
- DEI continues to be a driving fundraising strategy focus, as organizations that invested in DEI saw greater growth than those that did not.
