CHALLENGES

We Know Charitable Organizations

Charitable organizations face a unique set of challenges as they work to advance the greater good in a rapidly changing world. A range of challenges—from resource constraints to digital transformation—threaten their ability to make an impact.
  • 1

    Attracting and Retaining Donors

    Charitable organizations often struggle to engage and maintain long-term relationships with donors and sponsors, especially in an increasingly competitive philanthropic landscape where individual giving is declining

  • 2

    Demonstrating Impact and Transparency

    Donors, grantmakers, and the public expect clear, measurable outcomes and full transparency on how funds are used—requiring better data collection, reporting, and storytelling capabilities.

  • 3

    Managing Limited Resources

    Charities must do more with less, balancing tight budgets, limited staff, and growing demand for their services while trying to invest in technology and infrastructure that supports their mission.

  • 4

    Navigating Regulatory and Compliance Requirements

    Non-profits face complex and evolving regulations around tax reporting, grant compliance, data privacy, and governance, which can strain operational capacity and expose them to risks.

  • 5

    Building Operational Efficiency

    Charities often struggle with siloed systems and manual processes for managing donations, volunteers, programs, and finances—hindering their ability to scale, innovate, and respond quickly to community needs.

  • 6

    Leveraging Data for Better Decision-Making

    Many organizations lack integrated, real-time data across fundraising, program delivery, finance, and marketing, making it difficult to gain actionable insights or demonstrate mission success.

  • 7

    Adapting to Digital Engagement Expectations

    Beneficiaries, donors, and volunteers increasingly expect seamless, digital-first interactions—through websites, apps, and social media—but many non-profits lack the tools or expertise to deliver modern engagement experiences.

  • 8

    Securing Sustainable Funding and Revenue Streams

    Charities must move beyond short-term, project-based funding and one-time donations and build predictable, diversified revenue streams—such as recurring donor programs, social enterprises, or grant portfolios—for long-term stability.
