2 YOUR GAME PLAN Match Madness offers a great opportunity to reach more donors and grow your endowemnt! Step #1: What are your goals? Analyze your data to define your goals for Match Madness. ``Analyze your current donor database to discover new opportunities and develop the best approach. ``Establish your overall fundraising goal based on insights from your data. ``Determine the number of new donors and total participants you want to reach. ``Set segmented participation goals (young donors, lapsed donors, annual donors, etc.) ``Determine in advance how to measure your goals. ``What programs or projects have you always wanted to highlight? Now is the time to do it! Step #2: What s your story? How are you going to engage your donors? ``Create a compelling case for support. Consider tying your campaign to a specific need or program. ``Be sure to coordinate your communication efforts across every channel (web, print, social media, direct mail). ``Be intentional with your strategy. Start early, but beware of donor fatigue. ``Segment donors and tailor messages to reach them. Target donors with relevant content. ``People give to people. Create a personal experience for donors by personalizing your communications. ``Equip influencers and board members with social content and messaging to share. Step #3: Who is on your team? Who is going to help you make Match Madness a success? ``Analyze who in your internal organization could best help you achieve your Match Madness goals. ``Identify board members who would best help spread your message. ``Think about current donors or volunteers who would be great ambassadors for your organization. Step #4: How will you follow up? Be intentional with your follow-up. ``Create a simple thank you video in advance. ``Thank immediately via , phone call, or text! CFCC will provide you a donor list following Match Madness. ``Develop a specific follow-up campaign to steward donors and create a transformational experience.

4 RAISE THE BAR Recruit potential matching fund donors to raise additional matching funds for your organization! ADDITIONAL MATCHING FUNDS Organizations are allowed to offer an additional match to their donors. Additional matching funds are contributed directly to a nonprofit from a donor (or donors) to help encourage donations to your nonprofit. This allows donors to further multiply the impact of their gift for a nonprofit about which they care deeply. Additional matching funds broaden your nonprofit s giving base. Additional matching funds will not be eligible for the general match pool. POTENTIAL MATCHING FUND DONORS Start with your inner circle: ``Board members current and past ``Major previous donors to Match Madness ``Innovative or entrepreneurial donors ``A group of donors (or anyone!) who loves your nonprofit Reach out to businesses: ``Who have you partnered with in the past? ``Who can really blast your cause to their employees or customers? BRAINSTORM Board Members: Donors: Businesses:
