Today, I'm raving about #fundraising mobile apps.

We are just moments before the recently Covid-innoculated-by-Dr. Fauci Santa Claus is set to leave the North Pole with Rudolph, et al. It's December, and the number of my #online orders mushroomed as the #pandemic has shifted my previous reluctance to shop online.

Enter "shop," the #app for tracking deliveries, which has been a huge help this season.

So what does the "shop" mobile app have to do with nonprofit fundraising? Not much, but indirectly...

Mobile Apps for #Nonprofits are now a Thing - a result of the dual shifts to #remote work and the dramatic decrease of in-person #fundraising activities. We’ve seen an explosion in #digital based nonprofit engagement of supporters, #volunteers, and #donors alike.
 

An app can potentially help you:

• Find new donors.
• New supporters find you.
• Increase digital engagement.
• Arrange third-party support from businesses.
• Improve your brand.
• Generate new traffic to your website.
• Manage your annual conference.
• Improve value for your sponsors.

I could go on and on.

Hey, Gen Xers and Boomers—listen to your Millennial and GenZ peers on this if you don't believe me.
