This document discusses strategies for identifying and cultivating potential major donors from an organization's existing donor database. It provides tips on focusing stewardship efforts on long-time loyal donors who have given consistently for 3-5+ years, monthly donors, volunteers who haven't yet donated, out-of-town donors, current/former service recipients, and others who show signals of higher capacity or engagement with the organization. The key message is that the best prospects are often hidden in plain sight in an organization's existing donor data, rather than relying solely on wealthy strangers.

https://bloomerang.co/resources/guides/a-beginners-guide-to-finding-the-best-donor-prospects-hidden-in-your-database/
Let’s face it: prospect research is difficult. Those who have mastered it are truly artists, but not every nonprofit has access to a dedicated professional. For those wearing multiple hats, wealth screening tools, social media, and good-old-fashioned Google searches can only get you so far. Even if you do find a rich stranger in your area, there’s no guarantee that they’ll drop a million bucks in your lap.
In this session, we’ll explore prospect research strategies that build deeper, more meaningful relationships with donors. Participants will learn engagement strategies that enhance existing relationships, as well as uncover those with a propensity to give to your organization for the first time.
Learning objectives:
How to get to know the donors you already have (and why you should want to)
What donors actually want from you
What factors signal a likelihood that a donor will give to your organization
How to find prospective donors that are right under your noses
How to leverage current donors to acquire new donors
Strategies for re-activating lapsed donors

An Introduction to Donor Data SegmentationBloomerang
Do you communicate to everyone in your database the same way? You can't craft a compelling message or story if you don't know who you're talking to. Effective storytelling starts with matching your message to your audience. When we don't segment our messaging, we set ourselves up for failure. In this presentation, Steven Shattuck - Chief Engagement Officer at Bloomerang - will share some of his favorite strategies for segmenting your donors and other constituents in your database.
Attendee takeaways:
4 basic ways to segment your donors.
How to get off the donor acquisition treadmill
How to improve your donor retention rates
One of Steven's favorite ways to segment donors - one that has the potential to turn casual donors into major donors.
The Art and Science of Retaining Digital Donors (AFP DC 2018)Bloomerang
https://bloomerang.co/resources/speaking/
Retention is your most important fundraising strategy, and your online donors are seriously at risk. Among all your donors, they are the least likely to renew their gifts – unless you take specific, creative steps to engage and thank them.
This session will help you discover how to maximize the retention rates of your digital donors. We will examine the attributes of online donors, and outline the retention strategies that work best for this slice of your donor database.
Learning Outcomes:
Understand what makes online donors tick (their habits, patterns, likes and dislikes)
Learn how to formulate a retention strategy for online donors
Understand best practices in digital communications, including email gift acknowledgement and social media content.

In this session, Steven Shattuck, Chief Engagement Officer at Bloomerang, will provide practical advice on how to unlock the true potential of your donor database.
Learning objectives:
Easy ways to keep your donor data clean and manageable
Strategies for re-activating lapsed donors

Donor Retention Education w/ Steven Shattuck (AFP DFW 2017)Bloomerang
This session explores the Fundraising Effectiveness Project report commissioned by AFP and the Urban Institute. The dismal news in this report can and should be an eye opener for every nonprofit engaged in fundraising.
We will focus on the root causes of poor retention rates, and offer tips for improvement based on the principles of Dr. Adrian Sargeant and Tom Ahern: two world-renowned authorities on building donor loyalty. Sargeant and Ahern’s principles are based upon years of research conducted in the sector and can be used by any organization, whether you are a one-person shop or a large department. We will show examples of their principles in action. The results can be astounding when put into daily use!
Learning Outcomes:
Be familiar with current research on donor retention and how an increase or decrease can impact your bottom line

Diamonds in the Rough: Finding The Best Donor Prospects Hidden In Your Data...Bloomerang
https://bloomerang.co/resources/speaking/
Let’s face it: prospect research is difficult. Those who have mastered it are truly artists, but not every nonprofit has access to a dedicated professional. For those wearing multiple hats, wealth screening tools, social media, and good-old-fashioned Google searches can only get you so far. Even if you do find a rich stranger in your area, there’s no guarantee that they’ll drop a million bucks in your lap.
In this session, we’ll explore prospect research strategies that build deeper, more meaningful relationships with donors. Participants will learn engagement strategies that enhance existing relationships, as well as uncover those with a propensity to give to your organization for the first time.
Learning objectives:
How to get to know the donors you already have (and why you should want to)
What donors actually want from you
What factors signal a likelihood that a donor will give to your organization
How to find prospective donors that are right under your noses
How to leverage current donors to acquire new donors

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
