This might be disturbing. For the first time in a long time, December online fundraising was down, at least for many.

M+R Lab notes What the heck just happened? Riding the December digital fundraising rollercoaster: exciting, scary, a little nausea-inducing!:

December was not quite the celebratory, champagne-popping, record-breaking year-end digital experience that many nonprofits have grown used to over the past few years.

Was it down for you?

Some possible explanations:

  • The new tax law.
  • The stock market.
  • Political fatigue and/or noise.
  • The increased focus on Giving Tuesday.
  • Technical challenges, especially email deliverability.
  • A return to normal after a very strong 2017.

Or some terrible combination of these things. Or something we don't even know about yet?

If you experienced a weak December, you are not alone. Stay tuned as the number-crunchers work on this!
