Donor Recognition and Stewardship

• Is there a better way to do this?• What are some ways that we can better

serve our donors?• What is someone else doing that we’re

not?• Is there an app for that?• Making Innovation a Priority

First, do no harm?

• How do we know what they want?• We ASSUME• Why not ask?

• Retention rates among YMCA... 30%• What is your member donor percentage?

Goals• Make donors feel sincerely thanked for their generosity and support for your

mission.• Deepen donor commitment to and understanding of your mission and

organization.• Provide donors with the public recognition they desire and value.• Inspire donors to give again-at higher and higher levels of support.• Encourage or challenge other donors or potential donors to match the giving

of their peers.• Set benchmarks for giving to your organization.• Reinforce a culture of philanthropy, rather than setting a tone of quid pro quo.• Keep you within your budget limits --while not compromising the tax

deductibility of your donor’s gift
