# 2022 Rescue Mission Benchmarks
The last few years have been full of change for rescue missions - including the evolution into life-transformation ministries, changing attitudes toward religion and a global pandemic.
RKD Group examined data from our rescue mission clients across the U.S. to better understand how these changes have impacted fundraising trends. **The detailed results in this report will be beneficial for strategic planning throughout the reminder of the year.**
## Key takeaways
#### Missions saw strong revenue while active donors declined
Donor volume declined 7% in 2022 versus pre-COVID numbers.
#### A new quality of donors has emerged
Although there are fewer donors, those who retained gave higher gifts and more frequently than ever before.
#### Retention should be watched closely
Lapsed donors responded a lot like disaster donors - they returned to support missions during the pandemic but stopped giving once the emergency subsided.
