Share your truth.
Reap the re/awards.

Your advancement database does so much more than keep tabs on donors, alumni, and friends. It holds hidden treasure -- the data you need to tell the stories your donors long to hear.

Give donors relevant information.
Get more acquisition and retention.

Like one of my personal heroes in the world of donor relations, I also believe that there are two things that donors absolutely need to keep them engaged and motivated to give:

  • timely, personalized acknowledgments (separate from tax receipts)
  • information about the impact of their giving

I know this is not news. But it's not easy to provide these things to every donor. Data silos, complex soft credit associations, limited staff resources, and unformatted, dump-it-all-in-a-text-box GUI field usage can often get in the way.

Stay tuned for a blog post about how I tackled this problem using technology we had on hand.

Let your inner-innovator shine.
Earn the recognition your advancement organization deserves.

In the advancement world, there are awards. And then there are awards. We all know which ones.
I have extensive experience creating award-winning advancement projects and submission packets. In fact, I think I have it down to a science.  Check out my blog to learn how I write to win, and how you can, too.
