The Worried Fundraiser
Political shifts spark fundraising panic, but it’s not the end of the world. Every politician exaggerates, and tax laws change—like the SECURE Act and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act—but nonprofits with a strategic, balanced approach thrive regardless of who’s in office. Planned giving is the key to stability, shielding organizations from volatility and donor hesitation. Fear repels donors; confidence attracts them. History proves planned gifts endure economic downturns. Now is the time to act—secure commitments, diversify funding, and plan ahead. Stop worrying and start building a future that isn’t dictated by political tides.
