CRM IMPACT TASK FOUR: CULTIVATION
04/11/2023 54
#4 – CULTIVATION
• You grow your program by taking good care, cross channel, of your new and renewed donors
• The donor ‘lifecycle’ helps craft the approach...
04/11/2023 55
LIFECYCLE BASICS FOR ‘POLITICAL’ SUCCESS
• Shared agreement between fundraising and non-fundraising departments on the ‘big picture’ lifecycle plan e.g. how are non-fundraising and fundraising ACTIONS coordinated to give a deeper relationship to the organization triggering a closer and more generous view from the supporter
• Shared agreement between all types of giving (e.g. planned giving, major gift, middle donor, monthly giving, etc) on when individuals are approached to be converted to the next level of giving. In other words, when is a new gift giving opportunity triggered?
• Shared agreement on what happens on first entry; graduation and lifetime events (e.g. birth of children, first job, grandchildren, death of alumni friends, etc)
• Shared agreement on what information will be gathered, and how it will be gathered e.g. the Drip Marketing approach
• Shared agreement on how that information will be used and when e.g. birthdates, likes and dislikes, favourite memories, most important instructor at school, etc
•
04/11/2023 56
LIFECYCLE SKELETON
• The first category should be life event. It can include those important events e.g. acceptance, graduation, birth of child, marriage, retirement, death, etc
• The second category should be non-fundraising communication. It can include alumni relations or patient (family) communication touch points
• The third category should be fundraising solicitation. It should include every type of giving e.g. text, monthly sustainer, planned giving, etc
• The fourth category should be channel choices for each of the proactive interactions for a constituent
• The fifth category would be one labelled cooperation. It would explicitly talk about the necessary cooperation to make an interaction successful
• The sixth category would be one labelled outcome. It would explicitly talk about the outcome that the interaction should inspire

How are your donor retention rates?
• Where is room for improvement in average yearly gift per donor?
- yours vs. $1089 (Industry Average per AFP)
• Opportunities to reach more donors with peer to peer fundraising tools that harness the power of social media
Possible Suggested areas of focus:
• Average gift size for ALL donors shows room for improvement compared to peers.
• Retain a higher percentage of donors – retained donors are worth more, less expensive to reach. Goal is to slightly improve retention rate with better tools for stewardship.
