With this influx during the season of giving, the nonprofit industry becomes more competitive. Some organizations have to consider changes to their marketing techniques and donor outreach strategy, but with the right technology and tools, charities are able to keep in touch with donors and successfully promote their programs during the busiest time of the year.
