Are you using data to evaluate your major and middle giving programs?  

Fundraising success depends on the ability to leverage two important assets: data and time. With high-quality data and systems, you can spend your time—your most precious resource—in the right places. This is especially true when it comes to major and principal gift fundraising. 

Join this session to learn how to use data to elevate your major and middle gifts program. 

Learning objectives:

Refine your portfolios by answering questions such as… 

Are the right prospects in our portfolios? 
Are our portfolios the right size?
Are our prospects actively engaged? 

Improve your solicitations by answering questions such as…

Are we asking for the right amounts? 
Are we closing the right number of gifts? · 
Better use your time by answering questions such as… 
Are our staff structured for maximum results?
Are we using the best goals, metrics, and expectations? 
How can we implement a more data-driven approach to principal and major giving?
