Electronic giving in 2020 only accounted for 13% of charitable fundraising.


Old-fashioned print mail can be the most potent channel for bringing donations to any nonprofit.

By far, direct mail is still the most popular way to reach donors. 

  • It is a physical and tangible way to reach out
  • It provides another touch point from you to your donor
  • It builds lifetime value (LTV)
  • 67% of Americans say that they prefer printed materials over digital ones
  • 55% trust print marketing over any other advertising method
  • Haptics - the touch and feel of paper - provides a deeper understanding and engagement
  • Paper appeals engage viewers longer than digital ones
  • The majority of individual donations in the US come from direct mail
  • Donors believe print collateral is better at telling a touching story
  • Donors believe print collateral is better at conveying facts

A winning strategy for fundraising includes both electronic AND printed collateral.
