Do You Know Your Donors’ Passions? Uncovering What Truly Matters.

In the captivating world of nonprofits, we know that your supporters are the lifeblood that fuels your organization's mission. But let's dive deeper, shall we? We're talking about more than just random donations; we're talking about passions, the very essence of what moves your donors' hearts.

At Share, we're all about fostering genuine connections with our supporters, understanding what truly matters to them, and turning their heartfelt desires into impactful action. So let's unravel the secrets to defining what moves your donors, empowering you to create tailored engagement that resonates with their soul.

The Power of Segmentation: Unleashing the Insights

Imagine having a treasure map that leads you straight to the gems of your donors' desires. Well, fret not! With smart data segmentation in your CRM, this treasure map becomes a reality.

Start by tagging each giving opportunity – whether it's for our Bible Institute, camp scholarships, missionaries, or the general fund. This way, you can swiftly filter and identify which causes spark joy in their hearts. Knowledge is power, and segmented data is the key to unlocking it!

Custom Checkouts: A Front-End Blessing

Sail even smoother waters with custom checkouts on your payment gateway. By setting up unique checkouts for each giving opportunity, you automate the process of gathering essential data. When a donor swipes their card, you instantly know which cause tugged at their heartstrings. This data seamlessly flows into your CRM, saving you valuable time while keeping your donor profiles crystal clear.

Beyond the Data: Personal Touch and Conversations

Don't underestimate the power of heartfelt conversations. Reach out to donors who generously contribute above a certain threshold – $1000, perhaps? – and have a chat. Engage them, ask about their passion for your mission, and take notes in your CRM. These conversations will steer you in the right direction, guiding your marketing campaigns with the wind of relevance.

Field Staff as Navigators: Gathering First Hand Insights

In the quest for donor insights, your field staff is a compass to treasure troves. Empower them to use the CRM efficiently, logging notes and interactions with donors they meet. This first hand feedback is a goldmine of valuable information. Are they excited about Bible institutes or passionate about the impact of your programs? You'll have it all at your fingertips!

The Harmony of Listening and Acting

The core of it all: listening. Pay heed to your donors, embrace their feedback, and immerse yourself in their giving journeys. By centralizing this data in your CRM, you can chart the course for tailored campaigns, making your donors feel seen and valued.

Listen well, gather insights, and let your CRM become the compass that steers your nonprofit towards deeper connections with your passionate donors.
