Will You Be Ready? Part I—Your Prospect Pool

categories: Database Management, Prospect Management and Tracking, Prospect Research

When the economy tanked, many non-profit organizations postponed capital campaigns or put existing ones on hold. Activity remained slow as fund raisers and board members took a wait and see posture.  At some point we will have a recognizable recovery and when that occurs, donor confidence will return. Have you been taking steps to be prepared for the recovery?  Downtimes are great times to examine and reevaluate your prospect pool. Who has stayed loyal during the tough financial times? Remember that giving is only one indicator of loyalty. Consider who has stayed in contact, come to events, and continued to volunteer. Take a look at your prospect ratings and determine if your affinity ratings should be adjusted and then consider adjusting your cultivation plans.  It will be well worth the effort.

It is well known that many non-profit organizations postponed capital campaigns or put existing ones on hold. in my opinion in such cases the activity should remain slow until the time to rise again.

Very well said. Sometimes, it becomes challenging to look beyond a donor’s money and see what it is that they actually do contribute. Times like these can definitely change things. Thank you for posting this!

The loans suppose to be important for people, which are willing to organize their organization. By the way, it is easy to get a short term loan.

Nobody in the whole world is able to aid you with academic assignments finishing as fast, as an experienced writing company can do. Therefore, it’s ok if you buy custom essay from the trustworthy firm.
