The percentage of American adults who identify as LGBTQ+ has doubled since Gallup first began measuring it in 2012. And the younger the generation, the larger the percentage, with nearly 21% of Gen Z and almost 11% of millennials identifying as LGBTQ+. So, how can nonprofits connect with this growing demographic?

NTEN published my somewhat snarky predictions for nonprofits' use of fundraising technologies in 2012.

No surprise -- many will also lack the funding to replace them.
