Initiatives
Blue Spring Impact occasionally develops field-building projects that advance philanthropy, strengthen nonprofit ecosystems, and increase public participation in giving.
Charitable giving is changing in 2026.
The Universal Charitable Deduction (UCD) goes into effect this year and could mean ~8 million more households giving and $4.4 billion more flowing to nonprofits every year.
GiveAGrand is a national campaign developed by Blue Spring Impact to help donors, nonprofit professionals, and advisors understand this opportunity and take action.
GiveAGrand is building the public infrastructure for this moment.
Current work includes:
Education resources for donors & fundraisers
Sector presentations and workshops
Coalition and partnership development
Donor communication strategy and message testing
Research and public awareness efforts
Need help putting the opportunity into practice?
Blue Spring Impact works with nonprofits, philanthropic networks, and giving platforms to turn the new deduction into practical donor education and fundraising strategy. Let's turn this moment into an opportunity to reach new donors and grow your donor base.
EDUCATE YOUR TEAM
Bring your staff, board, or network up to speed on the new deduction with practical training, talking points, and answers to the questions donors are likely to ask.
DEVELOP DONOR COMMUNICATION
Develop a strategy and messaging for introducing the deduction across appeals, newsletters, donation pages, confirmation email, and other touch points.
YEAR-END COACHING
Integrate the UCD into your broader 2026 year-end fundraising—audience, timing, channels, offers, and donor journey.
TEST & LEARN
Test different messages and donor touch points. Learn what actually gets donors to pay attention and act.
LAUNCH A GIVEAGRAND CAMPAIGN
Recruit & equip team to participate in the GiveAGrand Challenge to spread awareness about the UCD and make asks of their networks.
BUILD SECTOR CAMPAIGN OR PARTNERSHIP
Help networks, platforms, funders, and regional giving days coordinate communications around a shared opportunity.
