As the number of donor-advised gifts continues to grow, fundraisers need to know the ins and outs of this giving vehicle and how to tweak their donor cultivation strategies to change a challenge into an opportunity.
This webinar from Blue Strike discusses how giving clubs and affinity groups can help build donor loyalty. It begins with defining affinity groups as groups of donors linked by a common characteristic or interest. The webinar then covers why donor loyalty is important through donor retention, presents four case studies of successful giving clubs, and provides steps for organizations to implement their own affinity groups. The goal is to enhance individual giving and foster peer relationships among donors to strengthen their bond to the organization.

This document summarizes a webinar on major gifts prospecting hosted by Blue Strike on February 12, 2015. The webinar featured Rebekah Kaithern, Director of Major Gifts at Salvation Army Eastern PA and Delaware, and was moderated by Mary Dillon Kerwin, President of Blue Strike. The webinar provided an overview of major gifts prospecting, including definitions of major gifts and key considerations for identifying potential donors. It also included a question and answer session and a list of additional resources on researching and cultivating individual donors.
Easy-to-implement donor upgrade strategies and the results of a new study about the impact of popular fundraising practices. Information on the how to balance short-term hits (matching campaigns and second-gift asks) with long-term strategies (sustainer programs and conditional ask strings). This also features the impact that emphasis and frequency have on results and the relative importance of the board v. the development director.
This document summarizes research presented at the 2015 Nonprofit Technology Conference on developing a predictive model for fundraising. The research involved surveying 900 advocacy nonprofits about their 2013 fundraising practices and matching responses with IRS data. Key findings included that certain practices like giving clubs, matching campaigns, and consistent conditional asks were associated with higher revenue. Experience of the development director also correlated with increased fundraising, whereas board participation and executive tenure did not. Limitations of the research were noted and next steps proposed further analyzing correlations and sharing findings.
The document discusses how effective communication facilitates good leadership. It outlines four key strategies for communication as a leader: listening, facilitating, questioning, and using discretion. A leader must play three integrated roles in communication: as a communicator to deliver messages, a strategist for communication planning, and a supporter of the communication system infrastructure. The document also covers developing a communications policy and strategy, tools for internal and external communication, effective communication structures and flow, and managing the grapevine communication channel.
This webinar featured the top five easy-to-implement, low-cost techniques for getting more from your current donors: 1. conditional ask strings; 2. matching campaigns; 3. lists and recognition levels; 4. second-gift approaches and 5. sustaining gifts. Implementing just one of these will generate more dollars for your organization.

Similar to Blue strike webinar donor advised funds - what you need to know - jan. 15, 2015 final (20)
This webinar discusses how nonprofit organizations can manage their profiles and ratings with charity watchdog groups. It explains that donors, foundations, and others consult these watchdog sites, so ratings can impact donations and brand. The webinar outlines the top four watchdogs and why ratings matter. It then provides a three-part call to action: 1) pay attention to spending and accounting; 2) hire an auditor familiar with watchdog criteria; and 3) educate board and staff on importance of profiles. Attendees are encouraged to improve transparency, governance, and accuracy of materials to strengthen ratings over time.
The demand for measurable fundraising success in the nonprofit world points to a need for research-based fundraising models that can help development directors choose the right practices based on their nonprofit’s circumstances. In this study, five popular fundraising practices -- conditional ask-strings, giving clubs, matching campaigns, sustainer programs, and second-gift asks -- are examined using organizational revenue as the continuous, dependent variable. The study sets out to determine if there is a difference in organizational revenue based on the extent to which nonprofits use these practices. Organizations that employed strategic use of the five individual giving fundraising practices outperformed their less strategic counterparts and experienced higher revenue. These findings contribute to a better understanding of what leads some organizations to outperform others and achieve financial stability. In addition to informing management decisions surrounding fundraising practices, this investigation highlights the potential of a modeling framework for predicting success to explain why some organizations succeed in fundraising more than others and which practices fit conditions found in advocacy organization.
This webinar was led by Alexandra Thebert, an innovative leader and consummate organizer, who has served as executive director of Save the Wild U.P. in Marquette, Michigan; chapter organizer with Physicians for National Health Plan in Chicago, and numerous political and advocacy campaigns. It features the power of the membership drive to build solidarity, fundraising as a growth and leadership engagement model, and why rich donors won't save the world (sorry).
Tried-and-true strategies for maximizing results in the final hours of the giving year, techniques for re-prioritizing and the best donor communications tools to deploy right now.
In this month's free webinar, we'll talk through how to create exciting new content, like videos and "top ten" lists, for sharing in December. We'll cover staffing issues. (Hmm. Who's going to be in the office if a donor calls about a stock transfer info?) We'll talk about how to optimize your website and the value of checking third-party sites to make sure they're showing up-to-date information on you. And, of course, fun ways to keep your board engaged in the crucial final weeks.
For this month's free Blue Strike webinar, we review three of the most popular benchmarking reports in the nonprofit field and discuss the pros and cons of each. Then we look at how to create a customized report for your organization using peer group statistics from the National Center for Charitable Statistics (a free resource).
Charity watchdogs evaluate thousands of nonprofit organizations every year. Their ratings influence donors' giving decisions and have an impact on an organization’s brand. Nonprofit executives, especially development directors, should carefully manage their organization’s profiles and pay close attention to their ratings. Check out these slides for ideas on how to gain the upper hand in the watchdog game.
This free webinar focuses on “Recapturing Lost Donors: Effective Strategies for Getting Them Back on Board.” We review the most common reasons people stop giving; how to prioritize your list of "lost" or lapsed donors; and talk about some cost-effective, “win-them-back” approaches you can implement right now.
This document outlines techniques for nonprofits to upgrade current donors presented at an AFP DC Metro Area Chapter meeting. The presentation discusses 5 techniques: 1) conditional ask strings, 2) challenge/matching opportunities, 3) list and recognition levels, 4) second gift approaches, and 5) sustainer programs. It also covers implementing a thank you call program with board members to cultivate donor relationships. The presentation provides examples and discusses success factors and obstacles for each technique.
This webinar provides guidance on publishing an annual donor list. It covers gathering donor data, editing the list, formatting and design considerations, and ways to use the list for fundraising throughout the year. The webinar is divided into three sections: the first focuses on collecting and preparing the donor data, the second on formatting and producing the list, and the third on utilizing the list for outreach and cultivation. Sample donor lists and templates are displayed to demonstrate best practices.
This document summarizes a webinar about strategies for recapturing lapsed donors. The webinar focuses on analyzing why donors stopped giving and prioritizing them for outreach. Attendees learn to categorize donors based on common reasons for lapsing like deceased, suppressed records, or address changes. They also sort a sample donor list by giving history. The webinar then reviews strategies to get lapsed donors to resume support, from basic lapsed letters to volunteer calls or lowering gift levels. Additional resources on the topic are also provided.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
