Making Donor Love Out of Nothing At All

You know you need to get those Thank You letters out (in 48 hours or less!) and you really SHOULD take care of that messy data . . . but how? As fundraisers we’re constantly wearing many hats and keeping a lot of the balls in the air at the same time, so how do you create a truly donor-centered fundraising operation? These are simple steps on building an effective, productive system with techniques that can be implemented right away.

This session looks at a “data-informed” approach to goal setting and process setting. By looking at the actual data and taking a systems-thinking approach, fundraisers are able to get to what their actual needs are vs. relying on suppositions or assumptions about what “could” work.
