Run The Giving Score and Get Entered to Win a $100 Gift Card

Posted by Dawn Hollowell to The Raiser's Edge on May 30th, 2012

Customers who have run The Giving Score, the free segmentation tool included with The Raiser’s Edge 7.92, have revealed the VIPs in their database—and, as importantly, they have uncovered their Acquaintances. They can now better direct their efforts to the supporters most likely and able to give, increasing the amount and number of donations, and reducing their costs.

If you haven’t run The Giving Score yet, you’ve got nothing to lose, and now you’ve got even more to gain! Customers who run The Giving Score from April 16 to June 15 will be entered into a random drawing to win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards.

Here are some resources to help you get started.

We want to make sure that all customers will have the opportunity to participate, so we are extending this contest through August 15. Any customer who runs The Giving Score in RE 7.92 between April 16 and August 15 will be automatically entered into a drawing where they’ll be entered to win 1 of 5 $100 Amazon gift cards.

I think that my supervisor is going to love the Giving Score once we have a chance to sort through coding VIPs, etc. For now, everyone shows up as having “no score.”

We have been using The Giving Score since 5/11 and it has completely turned our organization around. Before it was like swimming through a fog and now the fog has been moved out and we can see clearly who our real constituent base is. I absolutely love it!!! It has made my job so much easier!
