However, through your diligent work and professionalism, you may lay a substantial foundation that supports greater fundraising ROI through gift maximization and programmatic efficiency. This webinar is all about best practices that you can adopt/adapt to prepare for ultimate giving success as collected and revised by a grizzled 40+ year veteran of nonprofit and higher education fundraising, who encourages you to bring your thoughts and questions to this discussion.* *Full participation is applicable for 1.0 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification.

    In this session we will describe Northwestern Memorial Foundation's approach to optimizing their staffing model and relationship management coverage using a data driven methodology. In partnership with BWF, we evaluated pipeline flow, volume by medical department, and screened patient capacity, assessing estimated prospect and donor conversion rates from this population.

    Prospect pipeline analysis has been one of the primary methods used to forecast campaign and individual fundraising. One piece of analysis that shouldn't be ignored, however, is the importance of measuring Cost Per Dollar Raised (CPDR) or Return on Investment (ROI) as a way to supplement your organization's prospect pipeline but more importantly, place realistic goals and expectations on the fundraising professional who will be taking on a development project. CPDR or ROI is a simple measurement of development costs against fundraising revenue and can be used for benchmarking internally and cross-industry. In this breakout session, you will learn the tools and methodologies to employ this analysis and be on your way to supporting development goal-setting in your organization or department.
