Evertrue

“Our frontline fundraisers trust Signal to help them do their job easier, better, and faster.”

“Direct mail is one of the strongest drivers of donations I’ve seen, because it’s a huge point of contact. The campaigns for departments that don’t send out a mailer don’t perform nearly as well.”

““I know we’re reaching people we never would have been able to reach. We’re touching them in a more meaningful way, and that’s going to bear fruit.””

““We knew when we started this partnership that that’s exactly what we were looking to do. I can see the level of activity, I can see the interactions…we’ve seen so many instances already where there were attempted interactions years ago but they never went anywhere. The DXOs have proven in this first year that they can have a lot more success.””

““We know that in fundraising, people give to people. The cadence is automated, but it’s very tailored to the recipient and they feel that personal connection. We have to make sure that personal connection is part of all of our engagement strategy””

““This is a way to reach our donors, improve our relationships, improve the productivity of our staff, and ultimately improve our ROI. Frankly, it was an easy call because it made sense – it was the next natural step for the Foundation to take.””

““We’ve never had access to a tool like EverTrue before.””

““When you pull the Facebook data, it’s been interesting to comprehend that it’s a younger crowd on Facebook,” she said. “We’re thinking about what we can start doing today to cultivate them. They may not be at the major donor level yet, but building that relationship now could help us in the future.””

““Interactions on Facebook are a great way to identify specific areas of the university that the prospect may be interested in,” Jacob said. “It can give the gift officer a door-opener with the person.””

““This fiscal year, EverTrue has been the only tool I’ve used to proactively find prospects,” Jacob said. “A lot of the information is right there, so it’s quick and I don’t have to check quite as many sources. Before, I had to piecemeal things together to identify people.””

“The alumnus was really excited about the idea of having an intern at his company. It was a great way to  start a relationship with a company we hadn’t known in the past”

“EverTrue has definitely helped me  unearth new prospects . I was getting ready to head down to D.C. for a couple of days, so I ran a search in EverTrue to find unassigned Stonehill alumni in the D.C. area. I found several new people to get in touch with and was able to fill out my schedule for a more productive trip.”

““Whether or not they’ve been donating, these alerts let us know that the constituent is active with us on Facebook—so we have an idea of their engagement level before we go out and see them ,” he said.”

“By shifting the conversation to women’s basketball we closed a $17,000 gift to the women’s basketball team. One year later, that gift opened the door for a $360,000 pledge agreement to renovate the football center.”

“Brooke, my wife and I love your videos. So fun to hear from you. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation. We will miss your updates after May. I would like to make a one-time donation of $250.00. Please let me know how I can do that. Go Frogs!”

“It’s never too late to change. This platform gave us the data, the ease, and the impact we needed to pivot—and now we’re using it from the president all the way to our youngest alums.”

““With tools like this, we can see what people are interested in right now and produce a better user experience for alumni.””

““EverTrue represents a leap forward for alumni relations and development,” Andrew Gossen, executive director of digital for alumni affairs and development, said.”

““This is information that we can’t get anywhere else, and that alone is valuable to what we’re doing. ””

““The value is getting data to prove that and the ability to pull more detailed reports about our alumni. These reports help us target them more efficiently in our Facebook posts and ads.””

““We wanted a tool that could help show that alumni are still engaging with us even if they don’t attend an event,” Mike O’Neill, associate director of digital engagement for alumni affairs and development, said.”

““I remember the first time I purchased an iPhone. There wasn’t an instruction book. You just figured out things, and it was very intuitive. EverTrue meets that standard ,” Chris said. “It’s a discovery tool that is user friendly and obvious. It creates excitement as a fundraiser to find more prospects.””

““Changing careers and changing jobs is not easy. You’re used to using all the technology and tools at your previous job.,” Brent said. “I tried to go to the resources that I felt were the easiest to use and more user friendly, and I was introduced to EverTrue. I just jumped in and I started using it. I thought it was amazing.””

“Teddy can connect us with other Donor Experience programs…and provides valuable insights on a daily basis from what he’s seeing across other EverTrue customers. He can dig into our data and see what we’re able to accomplish”

“In just one month, we had 69 new looks into inclination, impact, and into donors telling us what they want their donor experiences to look like. Fast forward to the first full year with the DX program, and we now have solid data on how our constituents want to engage. We have a concrete idea of what our donors want – and now it’s up to us to facilitate it.”
