1 Prospect Research on a Shoestring Budget AFP February 13, 2009 Ali R. McLane Consultant, Dini Partners amclane@dinipartners.com Giving in the Current Economy Giving 2009 Survey Report, Dini Partners, January 2009 Survey Respondents The December 2008 survey represented the opinions of individuals, id families, corporations and foundations whose annual gifts consistently exceed $100,000 per year. Most of the respondents have contributed gifts of $1 million or more in any given year. All have made major gifts over $1 million All are multi-millionaires and several billionaires What to do? Most important factor in giving is existing relationship to organization Focus attention on existing donor relationships. Prove the genuineness of your relationships with your existing base of support with attentive stewardship and transparent communication 1

2 The New York Times, June 2005 New Wealth Growing minority segments New Trends Small businesses Successful entrepreneurial women Millionaire Woman Next Door By Thomas Stanley Portfolio: Business Intelligence Growing Philanthrocapitalism The Bill Gates effect ($2.8 billion) The $100+ million dollar gifts Items to Remember The fastest way to get wealthy is still inheritance The most common way to get wealthy is to start and sale a business 80% of your Major Gift donors are repeat donors Philanthropy is learned 2

3 New Trends Women recently surpassed men as the more prolific givers Gifts from women topped those from men by almost $5 billion in 2005, the last year for which the IRS included gender information in its publicly-available gift tax return data. That's a reversal from the ratio in the IRS's last study of gender in 1997, when men gave nearly $3 billion more than women. Single women are twice as likely to donate to charity as single men. These statistics are especially significant given experts' predictions that women will control about 60 percent of all wealth in the U.S. by 2010, over $22 Trillion. (MarketWatch.com, September 15, 2008) Women are the primary decision makers for healthcare for the family. 1 out of 10 Gen X women have a graduate degree; over ½ have a 2 or 4 year degree. (AHP Journal Fall 2008) New Trends Millionaires top concerns about retirement is the rising cost of healthcare (40%) 34% report health of self or partner 46% of Gen X Millionaires consider cost of healthcare as top concern Gen X donors are most generous in annual giving Gen X $22K; Boomers $10K; Silent $9K Millionaires volunteering on the rise 80% volunteer; 22% increased time in 2007 over 2006 Wealth in America 2008: Findings from a survey of millionaire households January 2008, Northern Trust Corporation 3

5 Where to Start Your Database A donor who consistently gives $5K can often make a $100K+ donation A donor who starts at the $1K level can be testing the organization Donors who have given three or more years in a row are showing significant interest Are there major donors in your area that should be giving to your entity?
