Expert Webcast: Finding Donors for a Capital Campaign

Meet the expert hosts.

Our most recent webcast, Finding Donors for a Capital Campaign, was presented on May 24, 2016, by Jeffrey D. Byrne, President + CEO of Jeffrey D. Byrne + Associates and Ryan Woroniecki, VP of Strategic Partnerships from DonorSearch.

Here’s what you’ll learn in Finding Donors for a Capital Campaign:

Based on Giving USA’s study of giving trends for 2014, ninety-five cents of every dollar are donated by an individual. That means that building relationships is critical to fundraising.

To be successful at fundraising, nonprofits must:

• Identify prospective donors and volunteer leadership
• Establish personal connections
• Create strategies for cultivation
• Solicit gifts
• Facilitate stewardship
• Make personal gifts

Because donations are made almost exclusively by individuals, it’s important to identify which donors you should target in a capital campaign. Measuring a donor’s likelihood to donate to your organization is based on several factors.

Measuring a donor’s likelihood to donate to your organization is based on these 6 predictors of philanthropy:

• Gifts to your organization
• Gifts to other organizations
• Role as trustee of a foundation
• Gifts to political entities
• Real estate value
• Business affiliations

DonorSearch, an innovative wealth screening tool, weights these predictors and gives donors comprehensive scores to help you determine where you should funnel your fundraising outreach efforts.
