Donors give for their reasons, not yours. If you don’t know your target audience, your fundraising efforts are merely educated guesses.
Done right, donor surveys can help you unlock donor’s interests, make them feel connected to your cause, build the right appeals, grow your major gift pipeline, uncover planned gifts, and optimize your current donor portfolio. Done poorly, you could lose donors and end up with mountains of useless and misleading data.
If you are ready to discover how surveys can turn your fundraising strategy into a fine-tuned, sophisticated engine of revenue, join us for actionable and surprising insights into what your current and prospective donors do, think, and need. Learn the components of a great donor survey and how to sidestep the countless pitfalls that plague so many surveys.
