Living in the Gray Area: Understanding Wealth that isn’t Black and White
Regardless of your political affiliation, tax returns have given researchers an inside view of the gray area of wealth. How can we take what we learn from these filings and apply the concepts to a broader prospect base? In this session we will review how to look differently at some of the tools researchers use on a regular basis. We will use individual examples to try to understand and explain what is going on “behind the curtain.” We will explore how to develop the researcher “gut” and how to think holistically about prospects.
Measuring ROI: Musings on Showing Impact of Research, Analytics and Prospect Management
In this session we will explore how to measure and report on the impact that research, analytics, and prospect management provides to an organization. We will discuss different strategies and metrics used to report the ROI we have on fundraising to senior management. Metrics should be motivators for success that meet the goals of the organization.
Income: It's Not Just The Numbers
High income earners often have similar assets to those in finance who are typically compensated through a bonus structure. The ways in which they earn their income impacts how they think about their money and ultimately their philanthropy. Explore the psychology of this and strategies we might employ toward these industries.
