Examples without a theory or a hypothesis is like… “Best practice fundraising creates results (statistics) that prove that fundraising integration of more channels and more areas of fundraising and non-fundraising – is indeed, best practice. ”
1) The Need What is driving changes in how we fundraise? 2) The Value What’s the value of being integrated? 3) Self-Assessment Where are you as an organization? 4) Solution How do you align culture, staff, and technology? 5) Evidence – Put It All Together What does best practice integration look like?
The Need 1) Nonprofit offline donors are aging around the world 2) Donor files and acquisition list sources are shrinking 3) Revenues are flat and–in many cases–are falling 4) Fundraising costs are increasing/ fundraising margins are shrinking Nonprofits need (younger) more valuable donors in many parts of the world
The Value
The Value: Qualitative • Integrated Marketing Benefits • Deepens constituent loyalty and increases lifetime value • Strengthens the brand • Engage new audiences, grow revenue, and maybe even save money. • Audiences are becoming increasingly multichannel – in every country - and greater data intelligence is required to raise more money.
Increasingly Multi-Channel Behavior % Who Agree, Appropriate Solicitation Channel GEN Y GEN X BOOMER MATURE MAIL 77% 79% 74% 77% EMAIL 76% 69% 60% 51% SOCIAL MEDIA 69% 60% 38% 17% PHONE 51% 42% 39% 34% TEXT 38% 25% 16% 13% Source: Next Generation of Canadian and American Giving
Best Practice • The Brady Campaign started with 38, 000 email addresses – 16, 000 were Brady members – 22, 000 were non-donor activists
Rapidly Growing An Email File • Launched branded campaign and microsite NRAblacklist. com supported by a print ad campaign • The site had a visitor to “signer” conversion rate of 40% • Grew email list from 38, 000 to 101, 257 in under 3 months
Sustaining Engagement Growth of NRAblacklist. com was followed by urgent federal legislative battles Started a new branded campaign: stopthe. NRA. com
Multi-Channel: Acquisition – Best Practice An online advocacy effort by the Brady Campaign grew their email file from 40 K to 140 K. The vast majority were new prospects. Email Solicitation Direct Mail Solicitation Phone Solicitation 0. 37%; $46 avg. gift 1. 26%; $24 avg. gift 21%; $27 avg. gift
Best Practice Takeaways… • Don’t Wait! Integrate online non donors into online, direct mail, and telephone conversion as soon as you have enough for a good test. Remember: younger donors ACCEPT more channels for solicitation! • Flanker Brand Campaigns. Need constant campaigns (like NRAblacklist. com) to grow your online non donor list. • Petitions. Build campaigns around online petitions so that you get full address.

On A Scale of 1 -5… • “ 1” = Type A, “ 5” = Type B • Where do you fall on the scale?
Multi-Channel Sophistication Not Correlated with Org Size (or country!)
“ANYTHING is possible, but NOT EVERYTHING is possible. ” • Two factors that have the greatest impact on advancing integrated marketing & communications: – An organization’s / leadership’s commitment to the philosophy – Investing in the mechanics to make it happen • Absence of these becomes a real barrier to integration.
Solution • Getting people to change – to become best practice
Where to Begin? Release the Fear. • To create change – you need a process. • System • Input • Challenge • Three drivers of change for a more integrated organization: • People • Knowledge • Technology
Shared Reality • Your organization as it is today: – How you see it – your reality – How others see it – their reality – No right or wrong – simply respected observations • Collectively, this becomes your “shared” reality. Reality is something you rise above. Liza Minelli
Shared Future • Shift ahead & articulate a shared vision or desired state of what you want (or think) your fundraising will look like in 3 -5 years • Can be applied to any time frame • Short-, Mid-, Long-Term

Facilitation Getting everyone on the same page
Integrated Planning: a full contact sport…
What does a face-to-face have to do to be successful? • You must bring senior management e. g. VP, CEO level staff into the planning of an online and integrated plan • You must have one person to manage facilitation • You must be able to facilitate a face-to-face session that brings diverse teams together to plan together • You must have the ability to forge agreement (budget, responsibilities, etc) on an integrated plan that includes many departments, many channels
What do you do before you meet? • Talk, and listen, to team members • Review the past, the current reality, and future plans • Analyze the data • Prepare for a face to face session that will push, pull, cajole, challenge and team build.

The Evidence Putting It All Together
A Public Broadcaster • Brand is perceived as authentic • They have moved away from a past of innovation to a current reality of ‘silos’
Things needed to be improved • 2 nd gift conversion dropped from 83% to 30% • Net loss of donors since 2005. • LTV of donors decreasing significantly since 2001 • Magazine, which was the primary stewardship vehicle, stopped in 2007. • Share of voice, i. e. number of times donors hear from TVO in a year, has decreased.
It would take an integrated solution… • Senior management support • Cross departmental cooperation • Create an integrated plan and stick to it
