Donor management is the process of organizing, tracking, and managing your interactions and relationships with your supporters. By tracking and analyzing supporter data, you can identify preferences that will help personalize your fundraising efforts.

Effective donor management helps build a loyal and committed donor base. Keeping organized and detailed information about your donors and your interactions with them allows you to tailor your fundraising strategies, increase donor engagement, and boost fundraising efforts! By maintaining strong relationships with donors, nonprofits can not only secure ongoing financial support but also benefit from additional resources such as volunteer time, in-kind donations, and advocacy efforts.

Donor management software simplifies and automates your donor management. It tracks donor interactions, manages donations, segments donors, and creates personalized communications. It improves operational efficiency and provides valuable insights into donor behavior and preferences.

Mightycause’s donor management software, Supporters, is the most powerful way to track and manage your donors and supporters. With Supporters, you get the essential tools and software you need to manage your donor data without being bogged down with features that are too difficult to understand.

Track and analyze success

It’s time to overhaul the way you view your online donors! Instead of viewing your supporters in transactional terms, interact with your supporters through a strategic lens. Utilize segmentation, targeted messaging, and automated record-keeping to engage your donors.

The Mightycause Supporters tool automatically creates a profile record for individuals that show support to your organization. This could be a donor, peer-to-peer organizer, volunteer, or more. You can also import your entire donor data history to ensure you have a full picture of your giving history, and an accurate record for each donor, whether or not they gave through Mightycause.

You can also view your supporters more comprehensively by creating custom tags. Tags allow you to add a custom label and segment your supporters. Some examples of tags could be board member, spring donor, potential sponsor, interested volunteer. Tagging your supporters by key segments allows you to quickly identify opportunities that strengthen your online fundraising programs.

For example, filter your tagged volunteers to determine a persona for who makes a donation. This information can help you identify other prospective donors to reach with a targeted volunteer solicitation.

Build targeted donor outreach with your donor management software

Supporters are accustomed to a personalized marketing experience in their day-to-day life. From large retailers to online ads, every marketing opportunity you see is tailored to your individual interests. Which means that your nonprofit’s outreach should also be personalized and you can do so using donor management software.

Easily review donor records through Mightycause’s donor management software.  Create tags for groups or individuals (ex. volunteer, board member, etc.) to customize your filters and segment donors for different messaging.

Make your next fundraising appeal more effective with personalized outreach. Use the Supporters tool to send segmented and targeted email messages to your groups or individuals without leaving the platform.

Strengthen meaningful relationships and improve donor engagement

At a more granular level, donor management helps you have deeper connections with your supporters. When you can connect with donors on individual initiatives that appeal to them, you’re able to foster long-term support and move mid-level donors into major donors.

Edit your Supporter records and include custom notes that will be helpful in the future. For instance, “Jane agreed to host next year’s gala at her house” might be a good note for context when you ask Jane to start a fundraiser on Mightycause to support a fundraising appeal the month before the gala.
