Advancements in Donor Relationship Management

If you’re someone who works at a nonprofit organization, you understand how crucial it is to maintain positive donor relationships. To achieve this, you need a sophisticated donor relationship management (DRM) solution that can handle millions of dollars in donations and volunteer contributions, as well as organize staff and membership internationally. The advancements in DRM technology have transformed the space for donor relationships with nonprofit organizations in many key areas. 

So, what are the advancements in DRM?

Cloud-Based CRM’s

One of the most significant developments in DRM is the increasing availability of cloud-based CRMs. Rather than storing data on local servers, cloud-based CRMs store data on hosted servers which can be accessed from any location with an internet connection. This makes it easier to manage multiple chapters and campaigns with real-time data from around the world. For an international nonprofit, the ability to access data from anywhere in the world is an essential part of facilitating and maintaining donor relationships by having readily available up-to-date data, which can be accessed via desktop or mobile device. 

Automation

Another key development in DRM is the increasing use of automation. An important part of ensuring donations and gifts is maintaining relationships with donors and volunteers. Tasks such as sending follow-up emails, tracking donations, and generating reports can be time-consuming and tedious but important for maintaining those relationships. With automation, tasks can be handled quickly and efficiently which frees up time to focus on strategy and decision-making while still ensuring the best customer service.

AI and Machine Learning

Another significant development in DRM is the increasing use of AI and machine learning. These technologies can analyze donor behaviour and trends to provide insights into how best to engage with donors and optimize fundraising efforts. 

Coming this Fall 2023, Microsoft will introduce its first AI model to support the assessment of potential donors. The scores provided by these models will enable the sorting of constituents by likelihood based on different attributes. AI will support personalized engagement with your donors and empower you to sort constituents by different attributes to help determine donor likelihood.

Dashboards & Real-time Reporting

Finally, the ability to create personalized dashboards is another advancement in DRM that has simplified donor relationships for nonprofits. Dashboards are the mirror to reflect the key KPIs you need to know every day. compile the unique data for your organization all in one place. This keeps your information and reports all in one place. This helps your nonprofit stay informed and make decisions in real-time, based on up-to-date information.
