The Virtuous Benchmark Report: Insights and Actionable Strategies for Nonprofits
Presented by David Cady, Virtuous CFO
Sponsored by Commotion Studios
What is your fundraising data telling you – and do you know how to use it?
The Virtuous Benchmark Report offers a roadmap for improving your fundraising results by examining the key benchmarks of successful fundraising programs. Take a deep dive into understanding what your organization’s data is telling you about what you’re doing right and what you can do differently for greater fundraising success.
This benchmark study focuses on seven key KPIs critical in determining the health of a nonprofit’s fundraising efforts:

Gross Donor Retention
Average and Median Gift Amount
Donor Expansion
Recurring Giving
Portfolio Balance
Donor Lifetime Value
New Donor Acquisition

The report provides actionable next steps for each KPI, helping you turn these insights into measurable improvements to make data-driven decisions that improve your organization’s results.
