NTEN published my somewhat snarky predictions for nonprofits' use of fundraising technologies in 2012. My overall predictions are that most things will be pretty much the same as last year (and 2010 and 2009, etc.): many nonprofits will struggle with out-of-date systems. No surprise -- many will also lack the funding to replace them.

In 2010, 78% of nonprofits surveyed by NTEN who had raised money on Facebook raised $1K or less in 12 months. Bottom line – nonprofits are having some success in connecting with new constituents and generating action, but the social network works best when requiring a low level of commitment.
