SMART Way™
Prospect Scorecard

Crafting the Ideal Donor Using Analytics

Why You Need an Ideal Donor Profile

Because working smarter, not harder, is no longer an option. There is no time to waste trying to cultivate DOA's - funders who are "dead on arrival” and lack the capacity and motivation to invest in your mission.

The SMART Way™ Prospect Scorecard

The Scorecard ranks investment prospects from A to D, based on the criteria YOU choose.

Many clients develop several Scorecards – one for major donors, one for corporate sponsors, one for grantors. You can even build separate Scorecards based for differing programs you offer. For example, some investors might love your programming for pre-schoolers, but ignore what you’re doing for young adults.
