Episode Details

This week, there's another podcast I want to share with you: What the Fundraising.

Mallory Erickson is talking to Caitlin Wion, a data manager at Alzheimer's San Diego. And Caitlin is revealing ALL of her automation secrets to enhance donor engagement and make recurring giving work – with limited capacity and time.

Hear how a simple donation tracker in an email campaign led to an unexpected surge in donor sign-ups, the power of customization and segmentation, and the origins and evolution of Alzheimer's San Diego's recurring giving program.

Caitlin doesn’t hold ANYTHING back in sharing their best creative strategies for fostering a donor community (like heartfelt acknowledgment letters and special thank-you notes!), while their Visionary program celebrates major contributors annually.

This juicy episode underscores the broader impact of monthly giving on fundraising strategies, and should get your wheels turning while you plan this year’s Giving Tuesday and year-end campaigns.
