Stewardship by SD&A

 

STRUCTURED CONCIERGE SERVICES FOR MID-LEVEL DONORS

Want to build better relationships with your mid-level donors? Connect with them more frequently? Increase their giving year over year? You can do all this, and more, with strategic cultivation from our expert team of donor ambassadors, who function as major gift officers for your organization, but at a fraction of the cost.

 

A-LIST TALENT

More than just rockstar callers at the top of their game, SD&A ambassadors are highly trained, specialized fundraisers who are skilled at cultivating relationships and taking donors through the pipeline of philanthropy.

Each ambassador manages a personal portfolio of up to 500 mid-level donors, employing multiple, coordinated touchpoints throughout the year – by phone, email, and written correspondence – with the goal of raising retention rates and increasing average gifts. This provides each donor with a personalized, VIP experience.

As portfolio managers, ambassadors are meticulous notetakers and recordkeepers. They initiate each relationship with a letter of introduction to the donor and follow up with a phone call to establish rapport. They then organize the schedule of touchpoints for the year, set reminders for themselves, and personally keep track of every donor.

The ambassadors who comprise this elite fundraising team have all enjoyed long, successful tenures with our company. As a group, they have many decades of knowledge and experience, having raised millions for a breadth of prominent organizations.
