support one another to raise more
money and build better donor
relationships

all different ways to give e.g up and

How do donors first engage?
• Across all generations, in the US and
Canada – mainstream media is the first
channel through which the donor becomes
engaged
• Word of mouth is the next most important
channel
• Consistent across US and Canada

Remove the
silos within your
organization
One organization’s goal to
better integrate online and
offline fundraising:
A new staff person is being
put into the fundraising
department who will
coordinate ALL web related
activities
They will report to the
Director of Advancement –
Fundraising
But this can only happen
with the buy-in of the CEO
Success Factors for Transforming an
online and integrated fundraising
operation
• Strategic and Tactical development
– Integrated multi-channel approach
• Alignment of structure, culture and
skills with strategy

Paper catalogue in support of
an online symbolic giving
campaign…
In 2005, an online only symbolic gift
catalogue was introduced, it raised
approximately $48,000 in its first year.
The second year, a simple catalogue
was sent to direct mail donors in
November of 2006 introducing them to
the symbolic giving catalogue.
It was sent to approximately 10,000
donors and raised an additional
$74,180.00
And a comparison of Nov 05 dm
donors receiving a holiday appeal
without a catalogue the month before
vs. the 06 donors who received the
catalogue showed a $15,000
reduction in income vs. $74,180
increase – for $59,180 net return on
more integrated offline/online
approach

Creating an integrated
schedule might be the
place to start...
What have I learned about making
integrated fundraising and
campaigning work?
1. Get buy-in at the senior level
2. Have departments work together
(maybe for the first time)
3. Create an integrated team
4. Create an integrated goal (with
different metrics of success for each
department)
5. Create an integrated plan
6. Matrix reporting structure MAY
make sense with individuals
temporarily reporting cross-
department
