Tracking the impact of your nonprofit's online fundraising efforts is crucial for understanding what's working and what's not, and for making informed decisions about your strategy.

Data and analytics can provide valuable insights into the performance of your fundraising efforts and help you identify areas for improvement.

In this blog post, we'll explore some key ways to track the impact of your nonprofit's online fundraising efforts with data and analytics.

  1. Use email marketing software: Email marketing software, such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or the MyDigital NPO CRM provides analytics on key metrics such as open and click-through rates, bounces, and unsubscribes. These metrics can help you understand how your emails are performing and identify areas for improvement.

  2. Track donations: It's important to track donations to understand how much money you're raising and where it's coming from. Use a donation tracking tool, such as DonorPerfect or Classy, to keep track of donations and identify trends over time.

  3. Monitor social media metrics: Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, provide analytics on the performance of your posts and ads. Use these metrics to understand which types of content are resonating with your audience and driving the most engagement.

  4. Analyze website traffic: Use a website analytics tool, such as Google Analytics, to track traffic to your website and understand where it's coming from. This can help you identify which channels are most effective at driving traffic and donations.

  5. Use A/B testing: A/B testing involves sending two versions of an email or ad to a small group of subscribers or users and comparing the results. This can help you determine which subject lines, content, and design elements are most effective and can be used in future campaigns.

Did you know that all of the above is built directly inside of the MyDigitalNPO CRM? Run email marketing, collect donations, schedule and track posts on your social media platforms, and so much more!
