Identify Affluent Donors with IXI EchelonAs you may know, wealth screening finds public information about your donor database. However, not every wealthy individual has publicly available information. What can you do to identify these constituents? Since most of the information that is found from a wealth screening focuses on non-liquid assets, liquid financial assets are often overlooked. We can help balance out that gap by providing you with information on liquid assets to provide a complete picture of a person’s true wealth. Echelon Power Segments is a prospect rating system built on proprietary economic data including factored wealth scores derived from Echelon Marketing's database of direct-measured consumer assets. As such, Echelon Power Segments is uniquely equipped to enable fundraisers to uncover prospects that likely have the disposable assets necessary to support a large contribution.

Supporter Journey SeriesIn the nonprofit world, it’s no longer just about “donor management” — you have to purposefully manage your supporters while they move through their journey of developing and growing their relationships with your organization. The Supporter Journey starts with intelligently using data to analyze and identify your best potential supporters. Following that, you need to segment and target your supporters to make the most of your every effort. And in today’s multi-channel world, you have to engage and communicate with your supporters on their terms, and inspire them so that they give more and give more often. And once they give their time, talent, or treasure, you must appreciate and retain your supporters because there are other interests competing for their attention. The Supporter Journey never ends — it’s a continuous process that Blackbaud can help you measure and manage.
