Final Data Adoption Thought

A couple weeks ago we discussed the importance of data adoption by fundraisers.

Here's one final thought.

Effective fundraising data maintenance is critical to increasing data adoption.

Fundraising data maintenance includes:

• ensuring data privacy
• segmenting donor data
• generating regular reports
• training staff and volunteers
• integrating with other systems
• regularly backing up donor data
• implementing automated data updates
• establishing a feedback loop for continuous improvement
• establishing a consistent format for entering and storing data
• regularly cleaning and updating donor data to remove duplicates and errors

Fundraising data adoption and maintenance go hand in hand. Make sure you're aligning your efforts for both.
