The State Faith-Based Fundraising

This free 2026 Benchmark Report draws on real data from 139 faith-based nonprofits and $2B in giving, not surveys.

It’s the only report built specifically to show you what’s happening in faith-based fundraising right now, and where the pressure is building beneath the surface.

In the report you’ll unpack:

• Why faith-based organizations have the highest donor retention of any vertical, and why that advantage is quietly eroding
• The real story behind mid-level donors: why they’re carrying more of the load and getting less of the attention
• How the rapid shift to online acquisition is exposing gaps in how faith-based teams onboard, steward, and reactivate donors
• Why recurring giving is outperforming the rest of the sector, and what the numbers say about building on it
