Modeling ApproachEvery model built to specific client goals

Flexibility– No commitment/no minimums– Simple agreement– Allows net Names and volume discounts– 2 week model turnaround– 48 hour order turnaround test/pricing incentives

Security– Commercial mailers not allowed– We are a blind co-op– We do not resell our data to 3rd parties– Unique donors not used– Must participate to get names out

What differentiates DonorBase?

Here is what our clients say…

What Our Clients Say

“Your focus on providing products for (and using data from) nonprofit organizations.  I trust that whatever you develop will be relevant to my clients.”

“You are not a gigantic multi-national corporation, and for this, I am grateful.  I never feel like I have to put in a “ticket” for a product and then wonder who will be contacting me, and when.  DonorBase provides personal, super-quick service.”

“I like recommending DonorBase because it’s a purely fundraising co-operative, and clients are more attracted to that than co-ops that also include commercial members.”

What Our Clients Say

“Bruce Hammer is very handsome.”

“DonorBase leads the industry with their ability and willingness to provide customized solutions that help solve clients’ unique challenges.”

“I love that you guys refuse to lead with a “one-size-fits-all” approach and look to partner with brokers and clients to help find solutions that allow everyone to benefit.”

“Your idea to pool owed exchanges and then optimize through DonorBase is great.  That also reminds me that we want to explore that for _______ also.  I’ll remind Sara.”

What Our Clients Say

“I always note that you guys are easy to work with on contracts (I am blunt with clients that not all co-ops are that agreeable), and your customer service is fantastic!”

“You definitely don’t “stink” – I can say that… it’s always a pleasure working with you and your team!”

“You engage directly with the agency and clients – not just the broker and are really determined to find a model that works for us.”

What Our Clients Say

“ In addition to your list performing well for our clients, what makes you different in my mind is that you are devoted wholly to nonprofits - your names are all donors to nonprofit organizations. (Because all names are proven/qualified nonprofit DM responsive.)  Whereas other co-op databases are also made up of retail and catalog merchants, DonorBase leads are ALL nonprofit direct mail donors.  This is especially valuable for the nonprofit fundraising sector.”

Challenge– Member sought to decrease acquisition costs and improve overall

performance.

– Member’s acquisition marketing strategy emphasizes average gift and subsequent LTV.

Solution– Infogroup developed Apogee MergeAdvantage model intended to

maximize performance via a blend of strong average gift and response

MergeAdvantageCase Study

The ‘prospects’ in the model’s bottom four scores (17-20, shown in red) proved to be extremely unproductive.

Suppressing those names results in:– 13% improvement in response rate– 16% improvement in total cost– 2% improvement in avg gift– 53% improvement in net revenue– 51% improvement in P&L/Dnr– Only 246, or 5%, fewer donors acquired
