Do our current fundraising efforts reach the full spectrum of Americans who might support them?
Are we speaking the language—literally and figuratively—of tomorrow’s donors?
Do the fundraising channels we depend upon exclude some ethnic and racial groups?
Do we have the cultural competency to ask these questions?
Research Questions
6
Online Survey of 1,096 U.S. Donors, conducted October 2014
Utilized the web-enabled KnowledgePanel®, the nation’s only probability-based panel, recruited to be representative of the U.S. population
Survey offered in English and Spanish
Oversamples of African-American, Asian, and Hispanic respondents
Total data are weighted to reflect the nationwide population of donors
Methodology

The Donor Gap
9% 11%5%
73%The Donor Gap
8
Donors Share Core Values
Religion and faith are both drivers and indicators of giving.
The impulse to help those in need is universal.
Wealthier individuals donate more in absolute terms than those with mid-level or
lower incomes.

Religion and faith are a more important part of philanthropy than among any other group
Not as likely to give through direct response channels, but also not being asked

The impulse to give is universal
Religion and Faith are indicators of giving (current and future)
Connecting with more diverse donors requires more opportunities to give in the flow of their everyday lives
Don’t ask and people don’t give!
Generational and ethnic/racial cohorts do not drive giving, but do drive channel and messaging
Overfishing results in a lower catch for all … engage everyone!

31
So, what do we do to reach these diverse groups?
31
32
Most channels under-index against African American, Asian, and Hispanic
audiences.
To reach them, we need to dig down into individual placements.
32
33
Stations may be selected by audience reach / format
Language is also targetable in some instances
For Asian audiences, number of stations limited
Often requires market-by-market buying vs. national
Radio often has large concentrations of audiences
Radio is relatively easy to target

Browser language setting is free and relatively easy
Other approaches require purchasing 3rd party data
Aside from these approaches, limits DSP / programmatic buying
Sites with relevant content may be purchased directly
Requires building unique/individual plans/languages
Less efficient than targeting conversions via DSP
Reaching via digital

There are few lists available for each of these groups
Some have selects available
Overlays are the most prevalent source
Very little in-language availability
Some publication/subscriber lists available
Is quantity significant enough to justify cost?
Are we delivering these audiences anyway?
Most DM is via compiled sources/data
41
42
Smaller circulations, but ultra-targeted
Local newspapers (La Opinion, Chinese Daily)
National magazines (Black Enterprise)
This approach allows good targeting, with less waste
Lower cost than TV or other approaches
Eliminates spoken language challenges
Print vehicles are strong

43
Believe it or not, African Americans can be more difficult to target.
43
44
TV networks with high concentrations
Radio station formats with high concentrations
Direct Mail lists with specific, relevant content
Websites with high concentrations
Directly through print vehicles
But we can target them via…
44
45
Sunday mornings reach this audience
Religious lead-ins work well
Radio & TV can both combine high concentration with religious relevance
Leveraging religious programming

“Asian” is somewhat of a misnomer – there are multiple groups and languages.
47
48
A plethora of backgrounds
Different languages
Even within groups, languages define cultures
Which group is in your geographic sweet spot?
Fastest growing group from 2000-2010 @ 45%+
Who do we really mean?
49
Because groups are so diverse, dedicated programs may be necessary
How many languages / approaches / streams are you willing to create?
Focus on most relevant region, market, geography
Perhaps start with who you’ve already been acquiring
Leverage existing relationships
Difficulty of reaching Asian audiences
49
50
In-language communication may be necessary
Determine which group(s) to target first
Develop materials to cultivate in-language
Make certain database can accommodate
Be aware of differences in written vs. spoken language (e.g. Chinese)
Language is important
