How do you really know how much money your nonprofit will raise next quarter? Guesswork, hope, or last year’s numbers won’t cut it—and leaving it to chance can be stressful for your team and board. In this episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, Tom Kelly shows you how to take the guesswork out of fundraising by using donor data and AI forecasting.
You’ll learn how to collect the right donor data, identify seasonal trends and patterns, and forecast future revenue with accuracy—without hiring an expensive consultant. Tom walks through a simple 3-step framework: Collect, Compare, and Forecast, showing how AI can reveal insights like which donors are likely to lapse, which might upgrade their gifts, and where your fundraising focus should be.
Through real-world examples, you’ll see how a mid-sized education nonprofit used these techniques to predict recurring revenue, stabilize their budget, and boost staff and board confidence. By the end of this episode, you’ll have actionable steps to export your data, analyze trends, and forecast revenue for the next 6 months with clarity.
Stop leaving your nonprofit’s future to chance. Learn how to plan proactively, make smarter decisions, and unlock predictable revenue streams using AI and donor insights.
