Understanding New Donors in 2025: What Christian Nonprofits Need to Know

According to the “New Donor Study” by BBS & Associates, there are more than 72 million Christian donors in the U.S. who are open to supporting a charity or ministry they have never supported before.  

However, many never act on that openness. This "gap" is not rooted in a lack of generosity, but rather in a lack of clarity from ministries. Many organizations fail to build trust, show impact, and differentiate themselves from well-branded secular alternatives. 

New insights from NRB members BBS & Associates and Infinity Concepts offer a detailed look at the current donor landscape.
