What is the Success Rate of the Database

Fundraising has four main processes:

Cultivation: The process of building relationships with prospective nonprofit donors before a fundraising appeal is submitted
Donor Identifying and Qualification: Identifying people and companies who may support company cause. Focus on identifying which of the potential donors are the most likely to support company cause significantly. This is where database is relevant.
Donor Solicitation: The Process of formally submitting requests to identified prospects – according to their requirements and processes
Donor Stewardship: The ongoing process of acknowledging and nurturing relationships with donors after they have made a gift. This includes the full scope of accountability and reporting according to donor standards

In other words – an up-to-date database is only one small tool in the bigger process. If you do not build relationships with funders, if you do not match with correct donors, if you do not align your proposal with funder focus- having a donor name and contact details will not ensure success.

Is the Database Updated

Some FAQ

I already have a database - do i have buy a new one. Quite a few organisations state that they bought a database from someone else in the past, but that information is now outdated. Go Figure. If YOU have not updated information as you go along, did not practice donor cultivation etc – your database is going to be outdated. The same is going to happen every time you buy a new database - including this one
Is this database Updated: Database is updated twice per year and ongoing basis [ individual contacts/information updated as we do proposal writing for ourselves or for those organisations we do donor-solicitation for. Please refer above.
Does the Database have email addresses: Yes – for all those who provide email addresses. Many are just for information as they have online applications or require proposals to be posted

A large number of email’s are “catch-all” emails -only monitored when they accept proposals
Email addresses of CSI contact change regularly – especially where companies do not have dedicated CSI departments.
Best practice is to verify address before you send off – this is also the first step of cultivation as described.
