Getting Your Donors to Say "I Do": Using Online Tools to Build Lasting Relati...Mark Miller
Presented at the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy on Oct. 21, 2011, this session compares e-philanthropy to romance - organized by 1) playing the field, 2) dating, and 3) taking the plunge. Mark Miller of Children's National Medical Center and Lesley Solomon of Brigham and Women's Hospital present practical tips for developing lasting relationships that lead to sustainable fundraising success. They include lessons learned from fundraising, stewardship, and list-building campaigns.
Established in 1967, the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy is an international, not-for-profit professional organization dedicated to developing the men and women who encourage charity in North America’s health care organizations.

AHP was using Microsoft Dynamics SL to maintain their accounting books and Microsoft FRx for financial reporting—and several workarounds had been put in place to help get the data from point A to point B. Key challenges included:
-Limited client resources available for implementation
-Extracting data from Microsoft Dynamics SL for Sage Intacct

What does IMAP stand for? Iowa Microenterprise Assistance Project, which provides grants to affiliate community foundations, facilitates endowment building activities, and financially supports entrepreneur and microenterprise development activities.
On January 13th, Vermont Community Foundation held a Grantseekers Forum at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton. While there are no major changes to VCF’s grant programs, the forum provided a refresher and offered nonprofits the opportunity to ask questions about grant criteria and the application process.
As part of Together for Healthy and Successful Schools, America’s Promise will extend a new funding opportunity to communities seeking to create healthier school environments for all children. Recognizing that school-centered health intersects with many areas outside of education—housing, employment, transportation, and food access— efforts should serve as a hub for cross-sector collaboration, youth and community engagement, and broader policy and systemic change.
Three to five existing districts and/or community-level organizations will be selected to receive up to $150,000 each per year for two years (for a total of up to $300,000) to support collaborative efforts that display alignment with this vision and a proven ability to accelerate positive change for young people in schools and their communities.

1. Building fundraising programs
Tim Weidmann
Throughout my career, I have been building fundraising programs:
1. Yale’s corporate fundraising from $4.5 million to $17.5 million/year,
2. Northwestern’s medical fund-raising from $8 million to $60 million/year,
3. Northwestern University’s fundraising from $37 million to $200+ million/year, and
4. Loyola Medicine’s fundraising from $8 million to $46 million/ year.
This presentation tells how.
2. Corporate gifts for Yale
• Researched best practices for corporate
giving, then implemented those practices
– Doubled corporate giving
• But came to believe Yale could raise more
• Researched state-of-the-art corporate giving
nationwide
– Discovered creative techniques at MIT, Wash
U, Stanford, and Harvard
3. State-of-the-art Techniques
• To utilize the MIT/Wash U/Stanford/Harvard
techniques, worked closely with Yale’s Office of
Grants and Contracts (sponsored programs)
• Developed a corporate agreement that provided
general research dollars to departments for “first
right of refusal” on any patents they developed
– Using this technique, again doubled corporate giving
– So overall quadrupled corporate fundraising at Yale
4. Northwestern’s medical fund-raising:
$8M to $60M/year
• Med School stuck at raising $8M/year
• Converted Med School fundraising to wealthy
grateful patients
– Worked initially with Department chairs to identify
wealthy grateful patients
• After raising 3 mega-gifts, top physicians at Med
School began telling Development Office of their
wealthy grateful patients
– After five years, medical school was raising $60M/year
5. Quintupling Northwestern Fundraising
• Story has many aspects
• Arrived at Northwestern in 1987, when University
had raised $37M
– Left Northwestern in 2001 raising $200M
• Believed Northwestern had the potential to raise
at least as much as University of Chicago
– To build the fundraising program took:
a. Internal organization
b. Internal team building
b. External expectations of alumni and friends
6. a. Internal team building (1)
• Initially built strong fundraising teams for Medical
and Law Schools
– Both Schools had strong potential for fundraising
– Both could be used as models for other schools to
emulate
• Built medical program on grateful patient gifts
• Built law program in three parts:
– Tripled the annual fund
– Recruited key volunteers
– Solicited named chairs from wealthy alumni and local
firms
7. b. Internal Organization (1)
• In 1987, Northwestern could not be char-
acterized as “best practices” fundraising shop
• Re-engineered Prospect Research department
– Used top researcher from Harvard as counsel
– Transformed department to best practices
– Hired new Director, recruited mostly new staff
8. b. Internal Organization (2)
• Brought PCs onto desks of all fundraisers
– Automated Development Office using Ethernet
networking
• For the first time shared files, shared printers, used
email, used templates, and trimmed clerical staff
• Automated prospect management
– Incorporated Prospect Research analysis, defined
prospect “ownership,” determined prospect
lists, defined stages of interaction
9. b. Internal Organization (3)
• Defined stewardship process and require-
ments
– No gift >$25,000 goes unstewarded
– The larger the gift, the more elaborate the
stewardship
• Wrote RFP for new Development database
– University purchased BSR Advance for $billion
campaign
10. a. Internal Team Building (2)
• Continual recruitment of fundraisers at all
levels, and restructuring as needed
• Constant mentoring of staff
– Goal = find and keep top performers
• Organizational limits to making that happen
• The more we raised, the more we attracted
good fundraisers
11. c. External Expectations of Alumni and
Friends
• Built good communication with alumni and friends
– The alumni magazine, school newsletters, campaign
newsletters, letters from the President, university annual
reports
• Articles about large gifts were key
– So alumni and friends who were capable of doing the
same were “shown the way”
• Constant message = importance of private philanth-
ropy to maintain and enhance university excellence
– Alumni and friends came to expect philanthropy in a big
way
12. Conclusion with Northwestern
• Created a Culture of Philanthropy
– Throughout the university over 14 years
• Undertook 12 specific and sweeping actions to
bring Northwestern’s fundraising from $37M
to $200+M/year
– Actions were all team efforts
– Would have failed, if I weren’t a team player
13. Built Loyola Medical Fundraising
• Was hired to create independent medical
fundraising arm
• 7 staff members when I arrived, and Medical
Development Office raising $8M/year
– 31 professionals, when I left, raising $46M/year
• Variables to create results with: CFR and
individual fundraising, wealthy grateful
patients, Med School, hospital, coming
campaign
14. Loyola Medical Center
• Introduced best practices
– Created hospital annual fund
– Increased and stabilized Med School annual fund
– Quadrupled CFR fundraising for Med School
– Built patient database
• Did wealth-screening to identify wealthy patients
– Worked with Department chairs to identify wealthy
grateful patients
– Wealth-screened Med alumni for wealthy alums
– Defined prospects and met with them regularly
15. Loyola Medical Center
• Communicated effectively with external
constituencies
– Publicized large gifts and importance of private
philanthropy to excellence of medical center
• Created internal Culture of Philanthropy
– Appeared before faculty regularly to expound the
value of philanthropy
• Drove campaign planning for $300M medical
research campaign
16. Conclusion
• Why so successful at building fundraising
programs?
– Had excellent liberal arts education
• Believe in value of American philanthropy
– Got strong business education at IBM
• Robust technology training at IBM
– Extensive sales experience throughout college and
grad school – AND with IBM
• HAD to succeed
– Worked for institutions I believed in
– Extensive fundraising experience
• “Success breeds success”
