Case Study
When A Direct Solution started working with this organization, serving individuals with disabilities, the organization had some 5,500 donors.
We knew that there was huge potential for prospecting and that the organization needed to grow. It had not done many acquisition appeals in the past and yet, the programs and awareness in the community had grown.
We also knew that renting lists from other donor organizations in this regional area was much more expensive than statewide, because of the small number of names available. We found that typical list rental minimums of 5,000 names were prohibitive, so we had to find an alternative source.
A Direct Solution found a great list of taxpayers. The list is affordable, totally local, and it offers many selections, including home value, age, female/male and charitable interest. In addition, with this area showing a large number of second homes, it’s possible to select on year round homeowners or vacation home owners. We had successfully used this list for a number of organizations in the area.
Next, we identified those towns where the organization had programs or where we expected some of their potential charitable donors to live.
The results were terrific! The prospecting appeal made money and the organization generated almost 300 new donors. Following are the results broken out by appeal and totaled:
Highly flexible, affordable services and wide knowledge base to help non-profits with appeals and sustainer programs.
