Giving USA Report + The research you've been waiting for is here
Sheela N. Mahajan
I've been thinking about something that keeps coming up in my conversations with nonprofit leaders: "I wish I knew what the research actually says about this."
Maybe you know the feeling. You're trying to decide on a fundraising strategy, or figuring out volunteer engagement, or planning your next campaign. And you think, "Surely someone has studied this, but where do I find it?"
That's exactly why I started the Nonprofit Science Review.
Here's what happened: I kept finding myself diving into academic papers, pulling out the practical insights, and sharing them with clients and colleagues. People kept saying, "This is so helpful - where can I get more of this?"
So I decided to make it official.
The Nonprofit Science Review is an online digest where I do the heavy lifting for you. I read through the latest research, figure out what actually matters for your work, and share it in plain English with practical applications.
Each week you'll get the research findings that are worth your time, what they mean for your organization, and how to actually use them.
Also, a few other things:
New podcast episodes are dropping too. More conversations with researchers and practitioners about what's actually working including a new episode with Wendy McGrady, Chair of The Giving USA Foundation. We dive into the latest report and discuss what the results mean for your nonprofit today.
The first Review articles are up along with the new podcast episode. If you're tired of making decisions based on what you think might work, this might be useful.

Warmly,

P.S. It's all free. Good research shouldn't cost extra when you're trying to make an impact.
