Model Results:
Actionable Donor Segments
True
Believers
High
Touch
Angels
True believers are individuals who could be converted to leadership level
giving over the next several years.
Donors with absolute belief in the cause and mission of your organization. Very
supported with estimated gifts in the mid-range
Top donor group with high probability to give: make significant philanthropic
investments in your organization
Loyalists
Donors that contribute year after year, providing long-time steady financial
support. These are the donors that may surprise you with a planned gift!
Pyramid
Base
Lowest estimated gift amount and lowest probability to give. Little affiliation
or giving to your organization.
Foundational
Givers
The foundation of any fundraising effort: believe in your organization and give
multiple mid-size/mid-to-high donations
Wish List
wealthengine.com
Higher estimated donation but not yet fully engaged with your organization’s
mission. You currently aren’t their foremost charity of choice
18
Eventually Look at Your Existing
Prospects
Look at their Estimated Giving Capacity and signs of affinity as well as
signs they look like your donors
Divide into two or three targeted segments
Forerunners:
These are your future angels! Those prospects that have the largest
capacity and affinity to make donations to your organization
High Estimated Giving Capacity
Future Leaders:
This segment is the pipeline for leadership gifts
Medium Estimated Giving Capacity
Building Blocks:
This segment with moderate affinity and lower capacity are the
pipeline of future annual fund donors
Low Estimated Giving Capacity
