Using Pledge Data to Anticipate Possible Impacts of Regulatory Changes in the CFC Workplace Giving Alliance, Salem, MA February 26, 2013 Atlanta
Data • 98 PCFOs (including NCA) reported for all three years: 2009, 2010 and 2011 • These 98 represented just over 2/3 of the total campaign in dollars • 2009: 69.57% • 2010: 69.87% • 2011: 70.47% • Totals reported were extrapolated up to 100%, which introduces some degree of error, especially for lower-earning charities
Three “Takes” • Connecting number of PCFOs to donor participation • Pledge volatility • Cascading drop in number of charities in CFC
Correlation between decline in number of PCFOs and decline in donor participation
Compare Reduction in # of Local Campaigns to Participation Rate
Cascade The Charity Perspective
Assumptions • Overall Campaign cost will come down from current budgeted $29 million • We use $20 million • Half to be paid by national charities; half by locals • Fee to be flat, charged in advance, non-refundable • Data reflects 2009, 2010, and 2011 pledges • Many charities will know and be guided by their prior CFC results • Charities will be looking for a positive net
Assume: flat fee at $5,000 • Number of remaining natl/intl charities: 1954 • Fee per charity: $5,000 • Earned for natl/intl share of CFC budget: $9.77 Million
Assume: flat fee at $5,000 charities take volatility into account • Number of remaining natl/intl charities: 1780 • Fee per charity: $5,000 • Earned for natl/intl share of CFC budget: $8.9 Million
Assume: flat fee at $5,000 charities take volatility into account charities want a margin of gain of $2000 • Number of remaining natl/intl charities: 1545 • Fee per charity: $5,000 • Earned for natl/intl share of CFC budget: $7.73 Million
Other factors that may increase drop-out rate • Up-front, non-refundable fee likely to come as a shock • Above figures reflect pledges, not actual receipts, and do not include federation charges • Charities may have to pay TWO annual fees in advance before they learn how well they may do under the new system. • In subsequent years, charities remaining in the campaign may “re-sort” with at least some of the continuing groups dropping below the fee
