Big and small, there is something for every donor

As 2026 begins, tailor strategies for both affluent and entry-level donors. Major donors need personalized engagement and demonstrated impact, especially under new tax rules. At the same time, entry-level donors may increase giving thanks to new above-the-line deductions. Layered, diversified communication helps sustain support across all donor levels. KCF is here to help you build a resilient, inclusive fundraising strategy.

What does fewer donors mean to your mission

Across the sector, donor bases are shrinking even as overall giving continues to rise—a sign of increasingly “top-heavy” philanthropy. Now is the time for nonprofits to emphasize impact, strengthen donor stewardship, and stay informed about evolving charitable planning strategies. Kitsap Community Foundation is honored to partner with organizations in adapting to this changing landscape and sustaining meaningful community support.
