THE COMMUNITY
KNEW
A place where people care
A place for people in need
Efficient and effective
Community leader
A place where people can turn their lives around
THE COMMUNITY DIDN’T KNOW
• About our programs and services
• How we do what we do
Understanding our audience
+
A new brand
+
Power on…to a new vision
Our original headquarters:
• Beyond it’s useful life
• Small, crowded, and in need of repair
• Didn’t fully support program and services
Our new headquarters:• Designed for what we do• Employment training programs• Expansion of services
+
So if we know all of this…why
bother with data?

Changing Demographics
Better Understand Your Donors by Leveraging
Similarities and Managing Differences!

Matures

The Power of Retention
. . . The more frequent the gift, the more likely to retain

It is important to understand these behaviors
It is much easier and cost-effective to keep your donors on file than to acquire new donors
The old standards still hold true
» Recency, Frequency, and $ still drives a program» The downside of not managing these metrics closely can hurt a program through lost revenue and donors» Capitalizing on giving patterns can create new opportunities for your organization
New donors are out there
» We are not solely relying on a few donors who give frequently to fuel acquisition» Newly Acquired Younger donors may not be solicited as heavily as older donors who give frequently. Old assumptions on channel behavior may not hold true in all cases
• Analyze before assuming

Applying Analytics
Our Approach
We utilize your organization’s unique giving history, enhance it with profile data, and apply proven statistical techniques
to create your custom modelsF
We then apply those models to identify likelihood and
capacity with pinpoint precisionF
Finally, we perform a detailed screening to uncover wealth, career, and philanthropic
connections and determined those most likely to be your best prospects for specificgifts.
+
GEOGRAPHY OF PROSPECTS, DONORS, & MAJOR GIFT DONORS
+
• Those likely to give a major gift to One80 Place are loyal donors who tend to increase their gift size over time.
• They are also likely to reside in areas where people are occupied in sales positions, indicating that they may have a higher income
• Additionally, we see that these individuals have higher valued real estate holdings and indicators of wealth
• Lastly based on matches in the (NOZA) database, we can see that these individuals are philanthropic in nature
MAJOR GIVING LIKELIHOOD
+
• Your best prospects for an increase in giving are showing several wealth characteristics, they hold public assets and have high mortgage limits.
• Additionally, they are employed in professional, scientific, & technical services, all indicators of possibly higher income.
• Also, we see the Average Dollar Purchase variable appearing as positive, which is a great indicator of availability of disposable income.
• Lastly, as in the MGL, they are loyal, increasing, donors to One80 Place.

DATABASE
ADMINISTRATION
١
Step One
• Major gift portfolios will be reviewed. Prospects with no contact in 12 months and a target gift range of less than $1,000 will be removed
• Major gift officers review removal list and can challenge prospects they would like to keep
• Major gift officers will receive 10-15 new major gift prospects. Criteria – major gift likelihood >=701 and target gift range >=$1,000
Culture Change – Step 2: Major Gifts
Step Two
• Major gift officers must complete wealth profile review of newly assigned prospects
• Discovery calls must be complete within 3 months of assignment
Step Three
• Major gift officers begin solicitation of qualified newly assigned prospects (3-4 total)
Step Four
• Development team continues new assignments to keep portfolios at roughly 50 prospects in “active” cultivation
