Aperio summer sessions: Creating a roadmap to your goal
Aperio Summer Sessions:
The relationship-based fundraising toolbox
In nonprofit fundraising, summer is the season to regroup and plan for the coming year. This year, Aperio is going back to the basics with a three-part series on the fundamentals of relationship-based fundraising.
In these free, online lunchtime discussions, you’ll learn to organize your donor lists, create your donor engagement plan, and develop a roadmap to your goal.
When your team strategically invests in cultivating donor relationships, the result is increased donor loyalty, increased engagement, and increased revenue for your mission.
Session 3: Creating a roadmap to your goal
Fundraising success depends on creating a plan that is both strategically visionary and rigorously practical—simplifying the path to achieving your goal.
Through creating a roadmap, you will be able to drive pace, productivity, and results—all while making sure you are cultivating and building relationships authentically and with intention.
In this session you’ll learn:
How to create a donor pyramid
How to plan for your specific number of asks
How to identify what gaps exist and how to close them

Session 2: Creating your donor engagement plan
A donor engagement plan ensures that every donor has a meaningful experience that grows their relationship, engagement, and giving over time—and creates a roadmap for your team to make the best use of their time.
Combined with organized donor lists—the focus of the first event in this series—creating a donor engagement plan builds donors’ confidence that their gifts are making the intended impact, their partnership makes a difference, and they play a crucial role in the future of your mission.
In this session you’ll learn:
What a donor engagement plan is
How to create a donor engagement plan
How to use a donor engagement plan

Session 1: Organizing your donor lists
Organizing your lists is the first step to cultivating donor relationships to their highest potential—and for everyone on your team understanding their part in the process.
How well do you know your donor lists? When was the last time you studied their potential? How confident are you that you are interacting with the right donors in the right way at the right time?
Combined with an engagement plan—which we’ll discuss next in this series—list organization builds donors’ confidence that their gifts are making the intended impact, their partnership makes a difference, and they play a crucial role in the future of your mission.
In this session you’ll learn:
How to get a basic understanding of the donors in your database
How to create basic donor segments
How to narrow down a shortlist of highest-potential donors
