Before & After
The story behind the story…
Where we were…
Department silos
Revenue silos
Donor “ownership” issues
Poor donor experience
Where we wereMarcomm vs. DR
The future of fundraising – “One big happy family”Old Way New Way
Organizational Philosophy/structure Fragmented; competitive Holistic; collaborative
Organizational Philosophy/structureMultiple Channels/businesses ultimately overseen by the individual department head
Integrated Channels/businesses overseen by one CRM head
Focus Short-term: reaching this year’s goal Long-term: building for the long-term
Measurement of Success‘Channel owners’ judged by the results from their channel
Channel owners judged by the results generated by the entire enterprise
Measurement MetricShort-term focus: revenue/net revenue generated by the channel
Long-term view: overall value (revenue+ ‘non financial value’) generated by the constituent
Data records “Owned” by the channel which acquired record Owned by all channels
Strategic InitiativesWIIFM (What’s In It For Me): developed and launched by individual businesses
WIIFU (What’s In It For Us): developed by CRM head, after weighing enterprise options; launched by individual businesses
Touchpoint PhilosophyIndependent: communications launched when it makes most sense for the Individual channel/business
Interdependent: one common Communications Plan shared by all channels/businesses. Touches driven by what makes the most sense for the constituent
Communications PhilosophyOrganization-centric: about our needs and what interests us
Constituent-centric: about the constituent’s interests, and what appeals to donors
Tom Gaffney, Nonprofit Times, 2008
Challenges – The Stomach Ache
“This is how we’ve always done it.”
“But we are Marketing and Communications, not Fundraising?”
“How will we be able to measure ROI?”
Breaking down the silos
Who do I need on my side?
Do your homework
Focus on consensus building
Create advocates
It’s going to hurt a little bit!
Donor first
25th anniversary
4,000 surgeries in 10 days across 25 countries with medical volunteers from 80+ countries
DMA Nonprofit of the year
Seize the momentum!
So where did we end up?
