Center research: Donor Identification
|
Don Macke and I are very excited to present our new research on Donor Identification at the Community Foundation Retreat in Bay City, MI on March 6th-7th. Through this research, we are able to identify neighborhoods with a concentration of high net worth households and profile their characteristics, such as investment habits to provide community foundations with targeted donor information. With a targeted audience, foundations can build strategic game plan to engage these donors on building endowments. If you're curious about what this donor identification profiling could mean for your community, contact Ahmet Binerer here.
