Underlying Assumptions (Overview)
We need to understand our constituencies Effective prospect research depends on:
– Understanding key segments– Thinking “out of the box”
Each organization has multiple donor profiles– Key to effective cultivation and solicitation– Understanding non-donor segments

Ultimate Giving
Everyone on your database has an ultimate gift Ultimate gifts may be of any size or type Data mining will help you to determine the ultimate giving
potential of your prospects Once you know the ultimate giving paths on your database,
you may develop cultivation/solicitation strategies suited for gift maximization

The Relationships Between Donor Types
Is annual giving the basis of:– Major giving success?– Capital campaign success?– Planned giving success?
If yes, are there exceptions? Do we underestimate the value of the $20 annual
donor?– Do we over-solicit these individuals?

The Letter
STATE University Dear Graduate:
Like me, you probably look back fondly on your years at State University. Cheering on the Red Rabbits to gridiron victory. Enjoying a malt at the Raven’s Nest. The friendships and romances with your classmates, which, in many cases, lasted a lifetime.
Today we are launching a major endowment campaign with the goal of raising $50 million. And that is why it is so important that we receive your gift of $1,000…

But, prior to 1957, it was “State College and Agricultural Institute.”

Unfortunately, in a nightmarish record of futility, they lost all of their games between 1974 and 1987 (perhaps prompting the change to Red Rabbits)

STATE University Dude: Was college great or what? I’m still partying man!
You knew this was coming, didn’t you? That’s right, we’re asking for money. Welcome to the real word!
But the thing is, it’s not really that much. And by giving $50, you could be helping some slacker who has even less money that you did when you were 18.
With much less complexity, we can mail two or three basic versions of the letter, testing dollar asks based on age or other financial/class year criteria.

second) to pondering retirement So why use the same letter with the same ask?

Why Capacity Matters?
In the giving equation, is it less important? Three reasons people do not give:
– Not asked– Do not support your mission– Not asked for an appropriate gift
