SUMMARY OF CHALLENGES

       • Acquisition is increasingly more expensive
       • First year retention rates are declining
       • Trends started prior to downturn and will likely continue
         after recovery
       • Younger donors are less loyal than older donors
       • Low ROI on new donor acquisition (and getting lower).
         - too costly to acquire new donors to replace lapsing donors

       • WHAT CAN WE DO? !!!

EMPHASIZE DONOR RETENTION OVER ACQUISITION

       • View donors as valuable assets!

       • When acquiring new donors, factor in whether you will
         retain the donor, and at what dollar level

       • Fill the holes in your leaky bucket!

       • Why did the donor give? Stop giving?

       • According to Adrian Sargeant, Ph.D. from Indiana
         University’s Center on Philanthropy
         “A 10% increase in donor retention can increase the
         lifetime value of the donor database by up to 200% .”

FOCUS ON LIFETIME VALUE, NOT RESPONSE RATES

       • Be willing to invest in your donors, e.g. thank you calls.
         See Donor-Centered Fundraising – Penelope Burk

       • Determine a donor’s potential early in your relationship
         and allocate resources accordingly

       • Be Donor-Centric, not Campaign-Centric

FOCUS ON RESULTS, NOT EFFORT

       • Set goals and measure your results

       • Find peer groups and benchmark your results

       • Checklist Manifesto, by Atul Gawande

       • Identify best practices

       • Find ways to collaborate to maximize results




2/12/2013   Customer & Market Insights   13
INVEST IN YOUR MOST PASSIONATE SUPPORTERS

       • Organize yourself to recognize a donor’s passion for your
         mission

       • See yourself through the eyes of your donors

       • Be willing to invest in your donors

       • Test investments and track results carefully

KEY TAKE-AWAYS

       1. Emphasize donor retention over donor acquisition

       2. Focus on a donor’s lifetime value, not a campaign’s
          response rate

       3. Focus on results, not effort

       4. Identify & invest in your most passionate supporters

Editor's Notes

  1. Use of premiums2/3 yr ROI not list response rates and cpdrInclude planned giving in long term return
  2. Adrian Sargeant, When people stay around, they do things like upgrade their gifts, [give more often], contribute to galas and even volunteer. All those things you can put a dollar value on.”
  3. Most donors aren’t trying to hide their interest in your organization.They are waving their arms to be noticed. Tell story of someone calling to change their address
