Description

To optimize donor acquisition, the University Annual Giving team refined its direct mail strategy using predictive modeling. By applying Windfall scores through its "Prioritization of Non-Donors" (PONDs) framework, UAG targeted only the top 20% of prospective donors most likely to contribute. This approach reduced mailing costs while increasing donors and revenue.
