Acquisition strategies for finding new donors

Discovering new opportunities and building new relationships

Nonprofit storytelling is what keeps us close. It’s a form of networking that quickly webs supporters together. By putting your story out there – and leveraging a mix of public records and predictive analytics – you can attract new donors who are already on the same page.

You work hard to fund change, so we make finding new donors simple for you. Tools like our brand-new fundraising AI writer and top-rated email marketing from Constant Contact come included with your DonorPerfect plan. When you pair these storytelling aids with prospect research and wealth data, finding new donors becomes a simple, streamlined process.
