The Modern Phonathon
August 13th, 2010In the past, phonathons served one primary function: to solicit gifts. Today, phonathons offer annual giving programs much more:
- A way to collect and update prospect data
- A market research tool (e.g., donor surveys)
- A personal way to steward donors (e.g., thank you calls)
- A forum for gathering and engaging volunteers
The modern phonathon is sophisticated and complex. Managed well, it can provide your annual giving program with a stable foundation and a fertile donor pipeline for many years to come.
