Overview: Caritas Australia maximises fundraising and donor engagement
Learn how Caritas Australia increased donor retention rates and active donors in the database by 5%
Caritas Australia experienced data quality issues which affected their ability to communicate with donors and resulted in higher costs for their fundraising campaigns.
With 370,000 records in their Salesforce CRM, the Fundraising Team recognised that donor contact data needed to be cleaned and tools put in place to capture accurate data across their donor touchpoints moving forward.
Challenge overview
When the Covid-19 pandemic began, Caritas Australia needed to transform their approach to donor engagement and fundraising.
Many of the traditional community donation channels were suddenly closed due to stay-at-home requirements, making contact data and their website more important than ever. With valid and complete contact data for donors to hand, the Fundraising Team were well prepared to make the pivotal shift and focus on direct marketing.
This activity included shipping postal donation packs as well as digital tactics such as email and SMS campaigns.
Challenges
- Transform donor engagement after stay-at-home Covid-19 requirements closed traditional channels
- Communicate with donors more effectively to reduce overall costs of fundraising campaigns
- Shift focus to direct marketing using valid and complete donor contact data
