One of the key elements of fundraising is having an up-to-date and accurate understanding of changes in a potential donor’s financial situation. This information is critical to the timing of an “Ask”. Our clients are clear about the necessity for timely and accurate data. So, let’s review a few elements that top this list for timing the ‘Ask’. . .Â
Capacity for Cash Gift. Does the donor have capacity for cash donation? Cash compensation, annual bonus, non-equity incentive programs, eligibility for corporate matching gift programs and recent stock sales all add up to liquid capacity. Insider Focus calculates cash compensation, net value of recent stock sales and identifies corporate matching gift programs.
Historical Stock Gifts. Does the donor have the affinity for giving? Has the donor gifted stock before? When did that occur? How much was the gift worth? Insider Focus reveals the dates, calculated values and footnotes from Form 4s.
Current Stock Holdings. What’s the ‘health’ donor’s current stock holdings? What happened to the stock after the merger?Â
