10. WE HAVE FOUND NUDGING IS
EFFECTIVE
• The organization now has 370 high scoring
legacy prospects
• Cultivation plan becomes the nudge for these
donors
• Testing has shown donors 3 times more likely to
leave legacy gift if carefully cultivated
11. THE BEAUTY OF SURVEYING
• Major gift potential
• Levels of satisfaction
• Areas of interest
• Motivation
• Other ways to participate
• Geographical clusters
• Social media use
• Personal comment
• Demographics
• Opinion
• Experiences
• And more……
12. KEEP IN MIND….
• Not every survey will give good results – surveys need to
be carefully crafted and tested
• Internal capacity – can you process the responses
adequately? Better to survey in smaller batches and
process fully
• Timing – must fit in the general communications
schedule
• Import of data (and database) – is your database agile?
Can you easily import and update data? Consider an
automatic import tool
