That's a wrap on FFE & NIC's Dual Meeting Seminar! 💜

Jen Lesshafft (Sr. Account Executive at EverTrue) spent last week connecting with fundraising leaders and talking through the work that keeps philanthropy moving.

Generosity doesn't realize itself. Someone has to close the gap between a donor's capacity to give and a fundraiser's ability to reach them, and honestly, that's easier to understand after a week like this one, sitting across from the people doing the work every day!

Great meeting everyone who stopped by. Next up:

📍 AASP 40th Annual Conference
📍 CACUBO Annual Conference

Hope to see you there. 👋

What if your next major gift isn't from a new donor at all? At University of Arkansas, it was someone already in their database, a $500,000 planned gift hiding in plain sight.

Their alumni network was big enough that outreach had started to feel like a numbers game. University of Arkansas used Signal by EverTrue to shift to relationship-driven engagement instead, prioritizing where attention would actually matter.

Previously unresponsive alumni started reengaging, and that $500,000 opportunity finally surfaced.

The lesson isn't always finding new donors. It's noticing the ones you already have.

Year-end is about to get loud. 📢 More appeals, more mail, more video than any other point in the year. But sending more doesn't help you stand out, knowing who to reach before you decide how does.

Join Genesis Midence (Sr. Customer Success Manager) and Hannah Davis (Sr. Growth Marketing Manager) on September 9 at 2pm ET to learn how to separate who's actually ready to give from who just looks capable on paper, and when a personal video earns its place vs. something in the mailbox.

If your fall calendar has you stressed, this one's for you. Save your seat 👉 https://www.evertrue.com/resources/webinar-making-year-end-fundraising-decisions-with-clarity/

How do you keep a donor relationship from going cold while your team quadruples in size?

As USNA AA&F grew from five fundraisers to nearly twenty, Signal by EverTrue gave everyone the same shared view of engagement history, so growth didn't mean relationships slipping through the cracks.

One donor's gift was $2,500, but with consistent follow-through it grew into a $15 million commitment.

The result: a first-ever $100 million fundraising year, a 50% increase in donor meetings, and two eight-figure gifts alongside it.

Build communications around donor preferences, not a fiscal year calendar. That's what University of Delaware did.

With Preferred Month of Giving, donors choose when they hear from UD instead of following a fiscal year calendar. Automated reporting and Pledgemine by EverTrue turned a manual process into a scalable, personalized workflow.

Communication fatigue dropped. Responsiveness went up. Relationships got stronger, not because UD sent less, but because they sent it when it mattered.

We keep hearing the same thing about AI and fundraising: people have figured out how to use it well, but their organizations are still functioning exactly the same way.

So how widespread is that gap?

We want to hear from the people actually doing the work.

What’s changed in your work? Has your team’s work changed? And where do you draw the line with AI?

Scott Rosenkrans, our Head of AI Growth, created this 10-minute survey to help us understand where the sector really stands. Responses are confidential, and we’ll share the findings.

Open through September 30 → Take the survey: https://hubs.la/Q04vbnVf0

A donor who's given for a decade and one who lapsed three years ago are in very different places. West Chester University Foundation decided their outreach should reflect that.

For years, every appeal started from scratch. Same list, no through-line between sends.

Lauren Giannaris and her team built donor pools instead, moving people through a journey across the year and using Pledgemine by EverTrue to give each pool its own personalized mail.

The real shift wasn't a new mailing list. It was finally meeting donors where they actually were, instead of starting over with every appeal.

Fundraising doesn't happen at a desk.

The rebuilt Signal mobile app is now live, so gift officers can prep for a visit, search for constituents, and log the contact report without waiting to get back to a desk.

⚡ Rebuilt from the ground up, one fast, consistent experience on iOS and Android
🔍 Search in plain language or pull up a saved list right in the field, wealth and giving history included
📝 Get an AI briefing before the visit, then log the contact report right after. Nothing gets lost between the meeting and the office
🔒 AI hosted inside your own organization's data, so security keeps pace with the tech

The relationship doesn't pause when the meeting ends. Now your tools don't either.

What do you do when best practice says one thing, but your donors say another? Chicago Theological Seminary listened to their donors and made their direct mail longer, not shorter.

Chad Schwickerath, VP for Advancement and Strategic Initiatives, noticed something once the letters got longer. Gifts started showing up online on days they hadn't sent a single email, the only explanation was the letter that had just landed in mailboxes.

Using Pledgemine by EverTrue, the team replaced short, ask-first emails with long-form letters built around the seminary's actual mission.

12% response rate. And donors didn't just give, they started writing back!

Reviewing your spending policy this year? See how it stacks up first.

You'll get benchmarks on:

📊 Typical spending rate ranges
🔁 Common lookback windows
💰 Fund vs. pool-level averaging
⚠️ Underwater spending decisions
📅 Distribution posting frequency

Whether you're prepping for a committee discussion or just want validation that your approach is aligned with peers, this gives you the real-world context to back it up.
