Donor Data

Giving is on the rise, so now is a great time to harness that generous spirit and have it work for your organization. 

  • Overall, giving grew 4.1% in 2018, creating the sixth consecutive year of growth in giving.
  • People under age 40 are part of a huge generation of givers, with 84% of millennial donors having given to a cause based on a request.
  • More than half of all millennial and Gen Z donors have fundraised on behalf of a charity themselves and are predisposed to listen to fundraising pitches.
  • Younger donors are far more likely to give if you’re using innovative donation collection efforts like online forms and campaigns.
  • Internet giving grew by 12.1% in 2018 and 45% of worldwide donors are enrolled in a monthly giving program.

Organizations have access to an enormous collection of information known as donor data. Donor data represents the historical record of donors within a given district or category. Your donor data is one of the most valuable resources you have, for many reasons.

Use your donor data to reach out to existing donors and to find new ones. There are a number of criteria that are used to deliver the kind of precise, targeted donor information campaigns required for effective fundraising. These include:

  • Amounts donated 
  • Frequency of donating
  • Issue-specific donations
  • Contributions to certain organizations
  • Donations by congressional/legislative district
  • Voting history
  • Consumer data 

When you need help building your donor database, your donor data partners deliver consumer and private donor data that allows you to target the best donor propensity for your campaign or cause. Use this data to specifically reach constituents who are most likely to support your cause, rather than wasting time and money chasing leads that will never turn into donors. 

When you can reach out directly to people who are interested in your message, it’s much easier to gain a financial foothold within the competitive world of fundraising. Plus, you’re connecting with people who deeply care about your cause and truly want to support your organization.

Who should buy donor data: 

  • Nonprofit organizations
  • Political campaigns
  • PACs or independent expenditure efforts

Voter and Consumer Data

Although at first glance it might seem a bit creepy to talk about gathering people’s personal data, the Pulitzer Center recommends reframing the voter/consumer data discussion to focus on people’s personal desires and interests. People prefer to encounter information that is relevant to them, right? That’s what you’re trying to do - provide relevant information that your target audience is interested in.

Your voter and consumer data come together to build a picture of the groups of individuals most likely to fit your model. Using the most recent voter data available, you can effectively target people who are likely to respond positively to your efforts, giving you maximum results.

No campaign, large or small, can afford to waste time and resources chasing down people who are unlikely to support them, have moved out of the voting area, or are otherwise not relevant to the campaign’s efforts. Research by Experian shows that up to 91% of data gathered by organizations contains inaccuracies and is in urgent need of updating. This shows how important it is to always be aiming for data that is as accurate and relevant as possible. 

Data must be verified and kept up-to-date, including current phone numbers, addresses, and demographic/consumer data points. 

Types of voter and consumer data:

  • Voter first, middle, and last name
  • Voter address, including street, city, state, and zip-plus four
  • Voter Congressional, Assembly, Senate, and Judicial District
  • Voter County
  • Consumer history
  • Consumer interest flags
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Additional information upon request

Who should buy voter and consumer data:

  • Political candidates at all levels of government
  • PACs or independent expenditure efforts
  • Issue advocacy efforts
  • Nonprofit organizations
