The purpose of this survey: To help you improve your major gifts strategy through industry benchmark comparisons and evidence-based research.
About the survey: Successful nonprofits are now leveraging data and technology to identify prospective donors, cultivate the relationships then solicit for gifts. By doing so, they’re raising more money much more efficiently and drastically reducing costs. Uber, Amazon, and iTunes are obvious examples in the private sector. But what’s happening with you? Are you effectively engaging with your donors and prospects?
How your responses will be used: Findings from this survey will be turned into an interactive report with charts and graphs.
How long will it take? About 15 minutes. After you submit your responses, you will be redirected to a page where you can view the results collected thus far. You’ll also receive the final report, which we expect to publish in March, 2017.
