Strategies for Donor Analytics, Moves Management, and Prospect Research

As a nonprofit fundraising professional you inevitably amass an incredible amount of fundraising data but you may not know which data is important enough to collect and what to do next.  The goal most often is to understand your donor network and conduct prospect research identifying individuals who will help to grow your donor base. Learn methods to collect specific, accurate, and useful fundraising data, and identify patterns and trends over time. Develop strategies for effective data-driven fundraising campaigns and moves management plans for key donors.
Gain a foundation in the core concepts of donor analytics and constituent relationship management which will explain which data elements, performance metrics, donor behavior and overall donor trends are consistent. Explore and identify what is needed to implement and strategically establish an approach to maximize your database.
