Modeling and Analytics FAQs

Why is data analytics important for nonprofits?

Data analytics, or donor analytics, are important for nonprofits because they significantly boost the efficiency of fundraising efforts and reduce overall donor acquisition costs.

There has never been a better time for nonprofits to use donor analytics in prospect research. With the help of iWave, fundraising professionals can leverage data analytics to maximize donations of all levels. In a major gift capacity, organizations can use fundraising analytics to identify potential donors, evaluate a prospect’s ability to make significant gifts, and develop the ideal cultivation strategy for each donor. However, fundraising analytics can also be used to inform and tailor marketing campaigns, segment annual donors who could increase their giving level, and identify potential planned givers.

Why data is important in fundraising?

With shrinking budgets and increasing pressure to produce more fundraising dollars using fewer resources, data-driven prospect development is increasingly critical to the survival of nonprofits. Inefficient fundraising techniques like indiscriminate use of direct mail are no longer financially viable.

Data helps nonprofits amplify impact by helping identify and focus efforts on top prospective donors, and fueling the necessary fundraising strategies to build strong relationships.

What is predictive modeling for fundraising?

Fundraising using predictive modeling involves the active analysis of donor data to produce scores for each donor in your database. These scores are used to predict the probability that a donor will engage in a certain behavior, such as making a major gift.
