Berklee College of Music Berklee Fund Strategic Plan

Prepared by: Stephen Rodriguez, Director of the Berklee Fund

Introduction: The mission of the Berklee College of Music Berklee Fund is to obtain a large number of alumni, parent, and friends contributing to the college in the form of unrestricted gifts. Annual gifts are essential to the college; they are a steady source of funds for scholarships, and equally important, they help create and solidify engagement and involvement of alumni and members of the Berklee community, all of which benefit the student experience. The purpose of this plan is to re-evaluate the efforts of the Berklee Fund staff and plan to ensure that Fiscal Year 2010 is a success on all fronts. In Fiscal Year 2008, the most alumni in the history of the college made a gift, and in order to build upon that success we need address the issues that occurred during FY 2009. Attributing our performance solely to the economy is not sufficient and with that in mind we should determine other factors that contributed to the significant downturn in donors. By analyzing FY 2009 results and efforts we can better prepare to make FY 2010 a success and renew as many alumni donors as possible. FY 2009 Performance: FY 2009 was a difficult year for fundraising, much of which can be attributed to the current economic climate. Other issues certainly did contribute to the decline in unrestricted dollars raised as well as the fifty percent decrease in alumni donors. Other issues to consider include the timing of direct mail/phonathon, data issues, time required for Datatel training, staff changes/issues, Colleague Advancement conversion, and lack of stewarding previous years donors. Overall the phonathon raised $66,556.72 for the FY09 Berklee Fund. This is a decrease of 36.52% over the previous years efforts, with the largest decrease being the fall phonathon. We are continuing to re-evaluate our training materials and methods to ensure that our students are able to perform at their highest level, however we are struggling with the concern that it is harder to reach people via telephone. This issue is one that most institutions are facing and are attempting to resolve by better segmentation and planning as well as the use of somewhat unconventional calling times (i.e. Saturday afternoons/mornings, day calls, etc.). An issue which will be detrimental in the future is the way in which we code our phone numbers and store bad data. It has been historically demonstrated that Berklee codes phone numbers with an address code, instead of either deleting the phone number or coding the singular phone number as bad. This is one of the contributing factors to our lack of contacts and/or pledges and gifts this year, especially after the conversion to Colleague Advancement. Direct mail saw a 39.35% decrease in FY 09 compared to FY 08, from $89,505.34 to $62,839. This can be contributed to timing issues regarding the approval and signing of

letters, which led us to not begin the year aggressively with the President’s state of the college appeal. A success of the direct mail program however was the holiday card, which was a first for Berklee and brought in a little of $15,000. The most astonishing drop was in the retention rate of alumni donors, which plummeted from 55% in FY 08 to 30% in FY 09. This is a data point that is extremely important to the college and much attention needs to be paid to our past donors as we move forward, from stewardship to cultivation to ask. The return on investment for previous donors is huge compared to that of new-donors and our attentions need to be focused on this important group. Please see attached reports for specific information. Goals 2010 to 2012 Overarching Goals and Principles

Increase alumni participation rate steadily each year to around 10% by 2012

Increase retention rate for alumni donors to 60%

Increase the number of alumni giving more than $100 to 225

Increase faculty and staff participation to 15-25%

Develop Student Philanthropy Program Specific Goals (FY 10)

Hire a Data Entry Specialist/Gift Processor

Develop a marketing/solicitation plan for current year and develop three year plan

Develop a plan to introduce student giving

Examine Phonathon to ensure Berklee is maximizing ROI

1,500 alumni donors to Berklee Fund

Raise $650,000 for the Berklee Fund

Develop Plan for effective stewardship of Berklee Fund donors Strategies for Fiscal Year 2010

We will continue to evaluate solicitation and segmentation strategies throughout FY 10 while ensuring we are getting the greatest return on investment. Along with continuing the successes from FY 09 the Berklee Fund will also try innovative methods to acquire and renew donors. Below are strategies for helping us reach our intended goals. Increasing Alumni Participation:

• Target asks and solicitation plan for donors • Employ more engaged and skilled phonathon callers • Use a more detailed segmentation plan for phonathon and direct mail • Increase e-mail calendar • Increase personal solicitation • Take an active role in alumni events and alumni communications

Retaining Donors:

• Focus direct mail efforts on lybunts and sybunts • Collaborate with the Major Gifts team on loyal donors • Use the Boch challenge to retain donors and increase their support • Target FY08 and FY09 new donors specifically

Stewardship:

• Include a thank you message for donors at alumni events • ‘Sticker’ postcard to all Berklee Fund donors • “Anniversary of 1st gift” postcard to send out to first time donors in the month that

they made their first gift? Student Philanthropy Program:

• Educate students about philanthropy • Provide a one-sheet coupon to all students • Host an event during finals • “Tuition Expiration Day”

Alumni Events:

• Berklee Fund staff present at most Alumni Events • Engage alumni base • Educate alumni about giving • Personally solicit alumni

Boch Challenge:

• Use the Boch challenge on a month-month basis for specific populations Faculty and Staff:

• Change focus from alumni faculty and staff to faculty and staff based on their start date

• Form a faculty and staff giving committee • Use department heads to communicate with their staff • Two direct mail appeals

• Increased personal solicitation by Berklee Fund staff • Include a “Thank You” at the Holiday Party and BRASS Day? • Write 3 short articles for Faculty and Staff News sharing updates on Phonathon,

Berklee Fund, and reaching our goals Integrating with MGOs:

• ‘Formal’ process for identification and tracking of higher-level Berklee Fund donors

Ask Amounts:

• Rethink ask amount structure for alumni and parents • Strategy for first time donors (FY09)

Phonathon:

• Utilize the new filemaker system • Provide callers with more demographic information • Increase productivity through more active supervision by student supervisors • Award grants based on performance for incentive and retention • Segment constituents based on more factors than giving status • Ensure the messaging is accurate • Increase number of contacts • Please see attached calendar for specific calling dates and possible segmentation

Direct Mail:

• Prepare better for drop dates • Better segment based on giving status • Refine look and feel of appeals • Cut costs • Mail lybunts and sybunts four times during the year • Tie appeal into president’s mailing in June and October • Please see attached calendar for specific dates and mailings

Email/HTML Solicitation:

• Send 8 targeted email solicitations throughout the year • Acquire emails through phonathon and other data acquisition projects • Utilize emails in next day pledge notifications • Send pre and post-letter direct mail emails to recipients

Personal Solicitation:

• Director of the Berklee Fund personally solicit 75 alumni donors • Ensure MGO’s are either soliciting their BF donors or ‘pass-off’ to Berklee Fund
