---

Observation: The Convoy of Hope website includes “Non-Cash Giving” as a primary navigation option alongside other major sections of the site.

Why It Matters: Elevating non-cash giving signals that these forms of support are central to the organization’s fundraising approach rather than niche options for a small group of donors.

Why This Works

• Places non-cash options at the same level as the Donate button

• Reaches users before they default to cash donation assumptions

• Normalizes alternative assets as valid contributions

• Reduces friction in discovering complex giving options

• Aligns navigation with a diversified fundraising strategy

What I’m Watching: How often nonprofits elevate alternative forms of giving within primary navigation as fundraising strategies diversify, particularly on the navigation bar.
