You may not believe it, your board may not believe it, your boss may not believe it, your friends may not believe it. But here’s the thing: nonprofit direct mail still reigns supreme in fundraising to individual donors.
Direct mail fundraising still works
The average US donor is 64 years old. We have some clients with donor bases where the average age is in the 80s. Older donors respond to direct mail.
People usually give via the same channel through which they were acquired. So if you work in a nonprofit that is 15 years or older, chances are most of your donors were acquired through direct mail. They will continue to give through this channel.
Bequests represent a larger opportunity than foundations and corporations and the huge majority of bequest revenues come from small direct mail donors.
Millenials, whose email boxes are overflowing with solicitations from retailers, politicians and fundraisers actually like receiving direct mail! In fact, 63% of millennials have responded to a direct mail solicitation within 3 months of receiving it!
The goal of direct mail is to raise funds within a reasonable investment.
We measure this with two calculations:
Return on Investment (ROI) for mailings to house donors, where direct mail is always assumed to make a profit.
Cost Per New Donor (CPND) for acquisition mailings, in which you make an investment to convert a prospective donor into an actual donor.
Essentially, your house mailings should be a profit center and should offset any losses incurred from prospecting for new donors to allow your organization to maintain its target fundraising ratio.
