# 4 Trends That Will Reshape the Nonprofit Landscape

![Business reports](https://info.imarketsmart.com/hs-fs/file-3555669497-jpg/blog-files/istock_000032940920small-300x199.jpg?width=300&height=199&name=istock_000032940920small-300x199.jpg)Curt Swindoll, Executive Vice President for Strategy at Pursuant (a fundraising consultancy), [outlined 4 trends that will reshape the nonprofit landscape](http://www.ssireview.org/blog/entry/the_future_of_fundraising).

Here's a summary of his premonition.

 

1. Nonprofits will [use advances in technology to engage](http://imarketsmart.com/what-we-do/) donors face to face and at every giving level

2. Transitional organizations focused on solving problems and then disbanding will increasingly challenge “permanent” nonprofits

3. Big data will become ubiquitous, and easier to manage and understand

4. Nonprofits will become proactive, rather than reactive, to opportunistic fundraising campaigns
