The Ontario Nonprofit Network's (ONN) Status of Canadian Fundraising 2025 report is out, offering a deep dive into the evolving world of fundraising amidst economic challenges and the rise of artificial intelligence.
This year's report highlights that while economic pressures remain a top concern, many organizations are seeing income growth driven by major gifts and innovative strategies. A key takeaway is the increasing importance of "digital maturity" – how well an organization integrates technology – and how it directly impacts fundraising success. Plus, AI adoption is on the rise, with most nonprofits now using AI tools, though challenges around accuracy and data security mean clear AI policies are more crucial than ever.
For arts and culture organizations navigating these complex trends, Young Associates can help you interpret these findings and develop tailored strategies for financial resilience and growth.
