~ 72% of respondents believe that fundraising for disaster-relief missions has reduced giving to other missions ~ Trust & donor fatigue are issues ~ Small to Medium size nonprofit organizations most impacted by funding shortfalls.

A new national survey released today by several firms working with nonprofit organizations confirms that donors need to dig deeper in 2005. Funding shortfalls at nonprofit organizations are another disaster in the making–-loss of key services.

Charley Shimanski, President/CEO of the Colorado Nonprofit Association says, “The results of this survey are critical to us because many nonprofits receive 50% of their charitable gifts in November and December and we now have the data to deliver our message of the need for charitable giving ‘at home’.”
The survey gathered information from over 500 donors, nonprofits and nonprofit consultants nationwide.
