- 6. What does this mean? • We may be asking too little of our young donors Young Alumni Participation Rate FY2011 * * *Insidehighered.com, July 12, 2011
- 7. Notre Dame Young Alumni • 20,000 Young Alumni (0-10 years out) • 32% of young alumni give annually • Collectively donate $3,000,000 each year
- 8. Notre Dame Young Alumni • Strong Feelings! – ND is a cherished experience – It is an experience that is regarded as unique, a privilege
- 9. Notre Dame Young Alumni I like to call it the happiest place on earth – Disneyland’s got nothing! I found friends of a lifetime, discovered my passions, and fine-tuned my intellectual capacities. When you meet another ND grad, you know they understand the ND experience, and how it shaped your life. It’s different than how others described their University experience.
- 10. Notre Dame Young Alumni • Consider Notre Dame their home. • They are a member of the Notre Dame family For which activities have you been back to campus since graduation?
- 11. Notre Dame Young Alumni
- 12. Young Alumni Giving Challenge 1. Increase current giving participation rate of 32%, to align with general alumni rate of 42% 2. Migrate existing donors to higher giving levels
- 13. Key Questions • What’s the right amount to ask? – Don’t want to ask too little or too much • What do we offer in return? – What do they want from us? “Just Right” • What’s the right way to ask? – Key messages that appeal to young alums – What vehicles to present message
- 14. Research Approach • Survey of young alumni donors – Compared responses from donors who gave under $100 to higher level donors – Assessed interest in a young alumni recognition society • Four online focus groups – Explored message and benefit options among interested alumni donors
- 15. Key Findings • High levels of interest among high ($100+) and low(<$100) donor segments
- 16. Key Findings • A recognition society gives them a target to reach for I think it'd be nice to give young alums a target… I know a lot of friends just give the minimum because they don't see a reason to give more • They particularly liked the idea of being recognized, along with their peers Like being defined as young alumni. Makes me feel proud and involved.
- 17. Key Findings • Right amount: $500 – Big enough to be meaningful to a school, but not out of reach for a young alum $500, it's high enough above the minimum to make you feel like you're doing something extra, but not unrealistic for a lot people. $500 seems pretty good.
- 18. Key Findings • Modest Benefit Expectations + + Personal Acknowledgement Regional Events Football Benefits
- 19. Other Findings • General mailings • Mailings that make a not memorable connection to student life are more impactful • Ideally, young alumni want to direct their giving
- 20. Other Findings Prefer Email Online Donations 4Quarterly Fundraising
- 21. Introducing… the Corby Society Committee of 25 young alumni advisors Launched in September 2010 Introduced via email, print, e-newsletters and Minimum donation: $500 social media Most recent class year: $250
