## Resource

It’s time once again for Randall’s highly anticipated yearly predictions. As many know, the nonprofit landscape in 2026 won’t be defined by doing more, it will be defined by doing different. As donor bases continue to shrink, a smaller group of donors will drive a larger share of giving, forcing organizations to rethink cultivation, stewardship, and board engagement. Donor-advised funds, non-cash gifts, and accelerated planned giving will reshape how generosity flows, while AI moves from novelty to necessity in forecasting and stewardship. In 2026, one thing is clear: waiting is no longer a strategy. The nonprofits that win in 2026 will be the ones planning now, with intention and courage.
