Special Olympics, Inc.
"The opportunity to sit around a table with our peers from other organizations and exchange ideas and best practices is invaluable. Even in this tight-knit industry, it's easy to start to feel isolated when facing challenges. Hearing how others have faced and overcome those challenges has saved us time and money on more than one occasion."
Director, Direct Response Marketing
The Wilderness Society
"Target's benchmarking programs offer a tremendous value for the money. The products greatly enhance our analytical capacity at a fraction of what it would cost us to purchase that analysis on our own. The benchmarking meetings give us the opportunity to spend two days at the table with many of the best direct marketers in the environmental community. This gives us an opportunity to confirm and/or enhance our best practices."
Director of Membership
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
"It [donorCentrics Group Meeting] was a very worthwhile day and I came back with a number of specific items to implement. The greatest benefit for me was being able to put specific goals based on actual data for the ideas I want to implement -- the exact purpose of having a group like this! Thanks again and the meeting is now on my schedule for next year!"
Director, Direct Response
Catholic Relief Services
"By participating in the Target Benchmarking Group, we've been better equipped to review and understand the data and trends of our competitors, this knowledge has enabled CRS to become stronger at evaluating strategic options in our program. This knowledge has also allowed Catholic Relief Services to move forward with the best and most efficient direct marketing methods."
Associate Director, Direct Response Fundraising
The Trust for Public Land, National Office
"Target's donorCentrics analysis has proven to be tremendously valuable to the Trust for Public Land. The detailed and comprehensive reports have allowed us to confidently develop plans for the strategic growth of our individual annual giving program. My participation in the annual Environmental Collaborative Benchmarking meetings has been invaluable. Based on discussions with the participants and the benchmarking reports, TPL has confidently added fundraising strategies used by larger organizations in the group. The meetings also serve as an opportunity for me to learn from colleagues from organizations with established individual giving programs as well as, discuss the current state of philanthropic giving."
Director, Annual Fund
Dartmouth College Fund
"I thought that the conference/meeting was excellent. Being new to the IVY League I have attended a lot of conferences this Spring... This was completely different. It was refreshing to actually talk about best practices that were identified by hard data with institutions that were similar to my own."
Executive Director
University of Wisconsin Madison Foundation
"The benefit that we have received from Target has been beyond our expectations. In the past, it was too difficult for our IT department to construct a report that shows trends in retention, upgrade/downgrade, reactivation, acquisition, gender differences, multi-year vs. first-time donors, etc. In combination with our annual roundtable meeting, their service has allowed us to address our deficiencies and exploit our strengths while comparing best practices with other universities."
Director of Annual Giving
Yale University School of Management
"I would strongly recommend that all annual giving programs consider Target. These reports provide you with a historical perspective as to the health of your annual giving program. Like any history, this information should assist in evaluating past trends so you can make better choices for the future."
Director of Individual Giving
Pennsylvania State University
"Penn State depends on Target for in-depth data analysis of annual giving programs, as well as for benchmarking with peer institutions. Target helps us to identify strengths and weaknesses in our programs and gives focus and direction to acquisition, retention, and upgrade strategies. The annual collaborative meeting with colleagues from peer institutions provides a forum for sharing best practices, in addition to valuable benchmarking information. Target has had a positive impact on our annual giving programs. It is an investment that pays off many times over."
Director, Office of Annual Giving
Indiana University Foundation
"Target's insight and comparative analysis continues to be a significant factor as we shape the strategic direction of our Annual Fund program. Their counsel and industry know-how make them a highly valued partner."
Director of Annual Giving
Wake Forest University
"I have been quite pleased with our investment in your services. One of our fund officers remarked that 'It was like looking in the mirror. Eighty percent of it confirmed that the strategies we were using were producing the results that we expected (positive and negative). The other twenty percent is an Ah-Hah!' The reports give us a fine way to begin some new strategies and, if we continue to use your services in the coming years, see the impact of those strategies across the board. Thanks for providing a quality product."
Director, Advancement Technologies
KUSC
"It's the one true analysis that I trust. Its consistency from year-to-year lets us compare apples to apples. And the detail is great."
Individual Gifts Director
WNED
"donorCentrics is, without question, the single most valuable analytical tool available to public broadcasting development...Our donorCentrics uncovered trends we were unaware of...These reports help lead the way to a more balanced and thus more successful portfolio of fundraising techniques. Now we would never dream of NOT using donorCentrics..."
