1 Three Bears How to Plan a Mid-Level Program that is Just Right For Your Organization Susan Paine Direct of Direct Marketing Human Rights Campaign Jann Schultz Director of Donor Relations Operation Smile Cathy Finney Associate Vice President MINDset direct January 28, :15pm
2 Mid-Level Giving Programs
3 The Emergence of Mid-Level Giving Programs In most organizations, there had been a gap in the donor giving cycle. Lower dollar gifts are managed by direct response. Higher dollar gifts are managed by major gifts. Each group found own techniques and systems by which to manage their donors. Oftentimes there was little collaboration or communication between the two groups. 3
4 The Emergence of Mid-Level Giving Programs This very segmented approach to donor development created a gap into which a number of donors were falling. Not yet ready for the one-on-one relationship with a major gift officer, yet deserving more than standard direct response treatments. 4
5 The Emergence of Mid-Level Giving Programs A number of factors have forced us to start focusing on these gap donors Increased competition from organizations Changing donor expectations Suffering economy We need to work more effectively and more collaboratively to meet the expectations and needs of this type of donor. 5
6 The Emergence of Mid-Level Giving Programs Mid Level Donor programs have become an important element in smoothing out the movement of donors from low dollar to higher dollar giving: Allow organizations to provide these more committed donors with appropriate treatment Identify donors with the propensity and capacity to move up to major gifts Utilize a combination of techniques from direct response and major gifts, providing a seamless transition up the donor giving ladder 6
7 Areas of Focus for Mid Level Programs Mid-level giving programs require attention to more than just increased production and postage values: Audience Selection Message Depth and Approach Balance of Communication Donor Management and Migration 7
8 Mid-Level Giving Programs: Shapes and Forms Approach to mid-level giving programs can be vastly different in organizations of different size and with different resources including staff, time, and money. Floors and ceilings Staff management of donor Where does program reside? Internal vs. external resources Collaboration w/ broad-based and major gifts teams Branded vs. non-branded programs Program goals 8

62 The Story of Baby Bear Cathy Finney Associate Vice President MINDset direct 2010 WASHINGTON NONPROFIT CONFERENCE January 28-29, 2010
63 The challenges in a small organization The steps are all the same: Understanding who your high-value donors are Defining the audience Determining program goals, format, branding, and implementation strategies But the challenge is that the same basic principles required to care for and steward these mid-level donors are done WITH FEWER RESOURCES. 63
64 Keys to Success in Small Organizations Understanding the implications of small changes in investment Collaboration Planning Proper utilization of staff resources 64
65 Washington National Cathedral Mid-Level Program Donors who contribute $500-4,999 annually 650 donors; approximately 1.3% of active donor file In FY09, raised more than $2.03 million from this group with an average gift of $358 Collaborative approach to executing their plan 65
66 Washington National Cathedral Mid-Level Program That was then 3 levels of giving: broad-based (up to $499) Mid-Level ($500 4,999) 1907 Society ($5,000 +) All donors at the mid-level were assigned and managed within individual portfolios Donors were never included in broad-based communication efforts Staff changes and competing priorities meant that many donors treatments were inconsistent and haphazard. Donors fell through the cracks 66
67 Washington National Cathedral Mid-Level Program This is now A smaller number of donors are assigned Unassigned donors are managed as special track within the broadbased communications calendar Balance of cultivation and solicitation efforts Versioned appeals or separate stand-alone efforts created specifically for this group May occasionally be included in in-house directed communications 67
68 Washington National Cathedral Mid-Level Program This is now Staff are utilized appropriately for additional touches when necessary: Named as contact for donors at the mid-level In support of special campaigns Make thank-you calls when special gifts are received Stewardship efforts are now automated and efficient 68
69 Baby Bear Mid-Level Giving Programs In smaller organizations with smaller budgets programs you have to focus on creating program efficiencies: Versioning existing appeals for audience; Turning appeals into cultivation opportunities Creating stand alone appeals that can be altered to fit into broad-based budget 69
70 Versioning Appeals July 2009 was the first effort in which we created an appeal version for the mid-level donors. #10 Closed-face package which reviewed the progress of the prior year and talked about priorities in the coming year. Limited number were selected -- cream of the crop and recent donors were omitted. 128 donors were included Letter was versioned to reference their value to the organization 33 gifts were made; a 25.78% response rate. Total revenue for the effort was $18,850; an average gift of $571. Total cost was $
71 Appeals as Cultivation Offers Balancing out communication efforts for Mid-Level donors to provide both cultivation as well as solicitation efforts throughout the year is key. WNC has turned 4 broad-based efforts into cultivation offerings for its higher-value donors: Calendar Thanksgiving Appeal January Certificate Easter Appeal 71
72 Appeals as Cultivation Offers Calendar Stewardship Mid-level donors received the calendar in FY09 and FY10 as a cultivation effort only No ask for a gift was included Letter copy acknowledged their support and thanked them. 72
73 Appeals as Cultivation Offers Letter Copy You are a vital part of our efforts to host open conversations on the great issues of the day; to proclaim a voice of generous-spirited, inclusive Christianity; and to help create a more hopeful and just world. We are so grateful for your support, and as a small gesture of gratitude, we are enclosing a copy of the Cathedral s 2009 Calendar to thank you for the many ways you help to sustain our work here. 73
74 Appeals as Cultivation Offers No Ask 74
75 Appeals as Cultivation Offers FY09 Calendar Stewardship Results Mid-Level Donors Balance of File # Mailed ,294 # of Gifts 47 6,361 Response Rate 10.56% 11.62% Total Revenue $ 16,562 $ 164,631 Net Revenue $ 15,810 $ 88,644 Cost/Dollar Raised $ 0.05 $ Mid level donors accounted for less than 1% of the file mailed, but more than 9% of the income. -- It cost less than $800 total to include mid level donors in this effort, and raised more than $16, Only additional impact on internal staff required was in reviewing copy for wording changes as well as pulling the file. 75
76 Mid-Level Specific Efforts Appeals created specifically for mid-level donors, even in small organizations, play a key role in the overall program. These can be more cost prohibitive. Inserting at least one comprehensive effort that is created around the mid-level donor is key. Can be stripped down for a lower-dollar donor. 76
77 Mid-Level Specific Efforts Mid-Level Specific Effort: Preservation Stakeholder Call Created a three-phase campaign specifically for higher value donors, and to drive increased giving through a strategic direct response technique. Included all mid-level donors (assigned and unassigned) Also invited major gift donors and prospects. Utilized staff participation. Created a lower-dollar version to mail to the balance of the file which didn t warrant this this level of treatment, but took the place of their February effort. 77
78 Mid-Level Specific Efforts Mid-Level Specific Effort: Preservation Stakeholder Call Results: Highest net appeal of the year for all audience groups. 531 mid-level donors were included. 92 gifts or response rates of 17.33% Total revenue of more than $77,000 and average gift of $ In addition: Allowed major gift donors to be included in an exclusive cultivation effort. Created new excitement around the featured theme and served as a good learning opportunity for donors areas of interested (at all levels). Format and theme of call will be repeated this February. 78
79 Revisiting: Keys to Success Understanding the budget implications Creating a mid-level program doesn t mean an exorbitant investment. Collaboration Utilize resources organization-wide, from broad-based to major gifts. Planning Know what s coming up, plan to include higher-value donors accordingly and develop strategies around existing efforts. Proper utilization of staff resources Understand the importance of staff in building relationships and utilize staff interaction when possible. 79
