DonorTrends Overview 

 

Getting Started 

DonorTrends is an AI-powered predictive analysis tool available as an add-on package to help optimize your fundraising strategy. To access this feature, you'll need to request a demo from the Sales Team as this is not included in the standard platform offering. 

Feature details 

DonorTrends uses artificial intelligence to rank your donors on their likelihood to respond to specific asks across five key areas: Yearly Donor Retention/Renewal, Yearly Donor Upgrading, Sustainer Conversion/Upgrading, Lapsed Donor Reactivation, and Planned Giver Identification. The system analyzes your donor's financial household donation history, including all contributions and attributions from Donor-Advised Funds, Family/Private Foundations, and Workplace Giving. Scores update nightly to reflect the most recent giving information. Each donor receives a raw score from 0 to 1,000, with higher scores indicating greater likelihood of generating the desired outcome. These scores are then organized into tiers (1-10) and clusters (top 40%, middle 30%, bottom 30%) to help you prioritize your outreach.
