The overwhelming conclusion of psychological studies is that giving is motivated by a variety of needs and non-rational impulses and, indeed, of thinking or rationalization in the way of giving.
Beth said: "The study shows that nonprofits can increase their fundraising and improve operations through a deliberate focus on measurement - allowing them to determine the impact, effectiveness and efficiency. Following financial information, individual donors want information on how nonprofits receive their results. "
Now, the money for the study was conducted minster equine vets by Good GuideStar, whose business is the provision of performance information charity. It's OK. And donors minster equine vets will always say an investigation which, of course they think deeply and carefully about giving their choice. Nobody admits victims of their emotions!
But anyway, I'm sticking with psychologists. Emotion rules give. Emotion gives donors the point of giving. If an "analysis" and "thought" occurs, it may break anyway ... he can not get in the way, or it can help the donor make a "rational" choice among alternatives.
So, absolutely, about results. But I would say that the idea of speaking of results is still elicit an emotional response ... not trigger a kind of ROI analysis. Keep this in mind when you submit your results. How, for example?

Why should be different gifts. NPOs should take this emotional reaction and monetize it immediately.
Every single recent study neurophisiological suiccesful and each market is based on emotions, so there is not even a debate. Display results and prove the value of money is a rational request to engage a donor organization.
- Emotion works to recruit people, rational support helps keep - Emotion operates at low value and the need to increase support rational value of the gift - Certain brands of charity minster equine vets or communications sectors minster equine vets require more rational impact / reporting / transparency, others do not (despite what people say in groups) - The proof is in the pudding - but only with patience. minster equine vets Test two communications, one of each type, at the time of recruitment. Analyze the return on investment in the short term. Most organizations will then declare a "winner", and my bet is that 9 of the 10 winners will be more emotional. But: follow recruits recruitment minster equine vets pack more efficiently and - if they get appropriate SRM - the "thinkers will have a higher LTV. Maybe.
I agree that the most common donors to give personal emotional minster equine vets and socially
