To effectively manage prospects, you must quickly evaluate constituents, create comprehensive cultivation-activity plans, and constantly monitor and revise those plans. Contributor Relations enables you to do this by maintaining extensive prospect information and providing tools that you can use to effectively implement and manage cultivation plans.
Planned giving prospect management involves tracking planned giving prospects, or prospective donors, from the point of discovery through elevation to prospect, cultivation, and, subsequently to becoming a donor of one or more planned gifts to your institution.
For planned gifts, the information that you track is different from the information for standard gifts that are entered through gift and pledge sessions. With planned giving, you track basic gift information and translate present and future values for reporting and estimating the effect that today's gift will have on your institution when the gift matures.
You can enter data that is related to a particular planned gift, but no processing to your institution's financial system or interaction with external planned giving applications is supported.
