How hard does a donor have to try to be noticed before the wealth screening suggests a prospect management assignment in your organization? Can you really afford to walk away from a four-figure or low five-figure gift? In our focus to raise the largest gifts and in our mastery of the annual fund, we\u2019ve ignored the capacity and interest to give in-between. Mid-level donors represent 1% of the donor population but give more than 1\/3 of the dollars.
