2.c: Criteria to Evaluate Effectiveness of Advancement Reallocations • Dollars raised in support of specific areas • Attendance/follow-up communication from events • Website page views, quantity of stories posted • Gift officer contacts, visits, proposals submitted • Scholarship applications and awards • Do more events equate to more dollars in the door? • If we communicate more often, do we have more people at our events/functions?
2.d: Criteria for Advancement Strategic Savings • Giving officer retention tied to performance (successful solicitations) • Annual fund outreach (calls, mail, social media, etc.) against dollars delivered • Dollars in the door vs. expenses incurred per project/event • Cost of printed publications/notices/invitations vs. on-line version of the same • Planned gift marketing responses tied to cost to distribute • Size of gift following alumni/stewardship events
