As long-time donors age and new donors start to come of age, the digital world is becoming more comfortable with just about all facets of life. Fundraisers are going to have to become more comfortable with the digital age. Luddites need not apply for funds.

During the 2015 National Catholic Development Conference (NCDC) Conference and Exposition, representatives of MobileCause said that nonprofits can get as much as 38 percent more donations with mobile response forms. The speakers emphasized fundraisers’ taking the necessary steps to make it easy for people to give on a PC, tablet or smartphone in response to all fundraising campaigns.
