What Is Fundraising KIT’s Presentation-Ready Fundraising Report?
A fundraising report is a document that outlines your fundraising performance over a period of time. These reports have detailed frameworks that give you valuable insights to inform your fundraising decisions.
Get Started With Presentation-Ready Reports
Using Fundraising KIT, you can turn your donor data into a sophisticated, presentation ready fundraising report in seconds.
Fundraising KIT’s Presentation-Ready feature allows you to generate detailed fundraising reports that draw on up to five years’ worth of fundraising data. This reporting feature also allows you to quickly compare your current data to your benchmarks and measure progress.
Additionally, you can set fundraising goals by identifying ways to engage with and build better relationships with your donors.
What Is Included in the Presentation-Ready Report?
Fundraising KIT’s fundraising reporting covers various key performance indicators. Below are the sections you’ll find within KIT’s Presentation-Ready Reports:
1. Executive overview of giving history
The “executive overview of giving history” section summarizes your organization’s fundraising progress year-over-year. This overview displays the fluctuations in your total revenue and the funding of different impact areas and campaigns at the core of your fundraising strategy.
2. Recurring donors
A recurring donor is someone who gives a predetermined donation amount to a nonprofit organization on a recurring basis. The recurring donor section compares the number of recurring versus single donations you’ve received and the difference in average gift size between those donations.
3. Gift sizes
Understanding the sizes of gifts you receive is critical for analyzing your fundraising strategy. In this section, you’ll gain a better understanding of the number of gifts your organization has received, average gift sizes, and the number of donations received by gift size.
4. Donor retention
Donor retention is a great metric to track because it measures the number of donors you’re able to retain within a period of time. This section provides valuable insights into donors who donated to your organization and have come back to donate again.
4. Donor acquisition
Donor acquisition is the metric used to track the number of new donors you acquire each year. This is an important metric to understand because of the high cost associated with acquiring new donors. In this section, you can assess the performance of your donor acquisition strategy to ensure that you’re engaging prospects affordably.
