Description
As your fundraising partner, we will make it our mission to listen to your donors, help you build your relationship with them, and encourage them to develop a steadfast connection to your organization. In our experience, when donors feel respected and emotionally invested in the charity, they naturally give more, give more often, and remain committed supporters longer.
Services
Win Donors
Find new donors. Reactivate those who’ve stopped giving. It’s an investment that’s essential to growing your mission. From acquiring new donors to converting warm prospects (like grateful patients) to reactivating lapsed donors, multi-channel WIN strategies are vital to the future of your organization. After decades of experience working with nonprofits we know that long-term value is a your most important fundraising metric. Our staff of WIN experts use predictive modeling to create your fundraising plan, based on your long-term goals, to generate optimal long-term net value.
Keep Donors
Keep donors giving, year over year, and generating the revenue to fulfill your mission. After you’ve acquired a new donor, you’re faced with the next hurdle: securing the all-important second gift. Saying thank you to your donors, promptly and sincerely, is a critical part of your mission, because good donor stewardship significantly shortens the length of time until next gift, and improves donor retention.
Lift Donors
A strategic combination of contacts, offers, and asks can increase your donors’ average gifts, turning their compassion into action. Multichannel marketing is more than just a direct mail piece with a coordinated email. Communicating with your donors in the manner and channel they prefer requires integrated plans for direct mail, digital, broadcast, print, phone, canvassing, and social. You can engage your donors by designing giving models that are perfect for them. In fact, listening to your donors’ preferences is the number one way to stop donor fatigue.

Cindy Funkhouser
President & CEO, Sulzbacher Center
Launching our direct-response program was an essential part of our larger fundraising plan. Our gross revenue from this program more than doubled in just 4 years — allowing us to invest even more to find new donors. And the program has improved the visibility we have with our existing donors, so we can better tell the story of the impact for good they make in our community. We’re excited about continuing this growth with TrueSense Marketing as our partner.
