For organizational websites that wish to accept donations directly on their site, there are technical issues to consider first. Placement of a typical “call to action” graphic is of utmost importance, and should be done so to provide optimal viewing capability. Colors can be manipulated to stand out and direct attention to the area to click and initiate the donation process. Catch phrases need to be carefully tailored to compel visitors to take action, much like excellent marketing language in the business world.

It is critical that organizations have an appropriate combination of grants, major gifts and a solid internet fundraising campaign in order to avoid potential income gaps that could cause program or personnel cuts that could be detrimental to the fulfillment of their mission. It has been estimated that one third of all giving to nonprofits organizations is now online as of 2010. Nonprofit consulting at TheDesignPress.com

Many nonprofits have turned to the internet since 2000 for answers to their fundraising dilemmas. While the use of the internet as a nonprofit fundraising tool is still in the emergent stage, it shows great promise in cutting indirect costs for organizations, while potentially reaching much larger constituencies. The tools available for community building on the internet include organization websites, email campaigns, public social networking sites such as Facebook.com, private in-house social networking sites and crowd funding websites like Crowdrise.com.
James Austin of the Initiative on Social Enterprise at the Harvard Business School notes:
“Make no mistake: the e-philanthropy revolution is here to stay, and it will transform charitable
giving in as profound a way as technology is changing the commercial world.”

We recently did research to look at how fundraising has changed since 2000 for nonprofit organizations. We were particularly interested in finding research on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to see if they are producing results for nonprofits. Our research focused on local nonprofit fundraising efforts on social sites, and nationwide in relation to other forms of fundraising, such as donation systems, crowd funding, traditional websites and email campaigns. This is the first in a series of articles on this subject, extracted from our report: "e-Philanthropy Nonprofit Fundraising Strategies" available for free download.
Background
Traditional methods of raising funds for nonprofit organizations include foundation grants, corporate and other gifts, memberships, donations, events and direct mailings. These methods can all prove difficult during depressed economic times. Indirect costs for events, advertising collateral for communications and traditional mailing have all increased, while discretionary funds for giving have decreased.
