“When using the Donor Experience Survey, we were able to segment our donor base, allowing us to see the differences in experience between our high-end and capital donors and annual donors. The survey data confirmed that our focused efforts on current parents and parents of the alumni were productive. I believe that the survey provided a new opportunity for critical donors to partner in our mission at the conclusion of our capital campaign. I would like to use the findings and recommendations to encourage development staff to continue to engage in their successful practices and address the inquiries and suggestions that surfaced in donors’ responses.”

“The Donor Experience Survey gave us the opportunity to hear from our donors, to learn from them, and to create a plan to move forward. Responses indicated that individuals resonated with and affirmed the direction of the Sisters as they work toward the SNJM mission. Many expressed gratitude for their education and for the continuing prayers of the Sisters. While their responses were affirming for us, donors also suggested areas on which we could focus our efforts moving into the future. The information from this survey helps us create a future-plan for SNJM Advancement.”
