46. And the data backs up your
projections about online
• Charitable web site traffic growth in 2011:
38.9% in Canada vs. 11.1% in US
• Charitable email open rates in the US
were 18.4% vs. 29.2% in Canada
• 33% of online donations in Canada are
monthly (and monthly is growing online
at 7.4% last year)
• But in many ways, we are play ‘catch up’
with our US counterparts

64. Gary’s view of the Strategy Map and
Balanced Scorecard
• Gary Rubin, VP
Advancement, Towson University
(The Wire)
• A crooner for his University
• “A hanging in a fortnight…”
• Needed his 75 staff on the same
page
• Alumni
Affairs, Communications, Donor
65. Gary’s view of the Strategy Map and
Balanced Scorecard
• My biggest challenge –
integration, coordination and team
work
• The strategy map and balanced
scorecard helped us get there
• Technology has put even more
pressure on being on the same
page
70. The End Result
• Integrated team: some senior
(Directors) people had to go and
new people brought in – healthy
change
• The President is on board
• Fundraising results are already
improved in retention and
acquisition and average gift!

Lot of information on this chart. Two most common ways to “give back” are what I know some of you refer to as “tipping” – leaving a buck for charity here or there at the supermarket, etc; and of course check by mail. But what I really want to focus on is some of the generational differences. Gen Y most likely to give in small ways -- $1 at checkout type of gift. No one prevalent channel beyond that -- as likely to give via website as check, same numbers at gift shop, event, etc. More than 1-in-10 say they have participated in mobile philanthropy. Giving thru SM more prevalent than other generations, but still small. Gen X true multi-channel givers -- more likely to give through many of these channels than other generations. Most likely to make online donations (though still a little less than good old check). Both X and Y more likely to participate in something like Gap Red campaign where part of the proceeds fr third party vendor purchase goes to charity. In focus groups we heard that this is a way that they can easily and affordably be charitable. Win-win (i.e. Gap – “I shop there anyway, and it’s a way to feel good”). X using monthly debit more than other cohorts. –NOT REALLY -- THE DIFFERENCE IS WITHIN THE MOE Matures (and Boomers) most likely to mail in a check. A third of Matures have made tribute gifts. More have given via phone solicitation than other generations (though still just a quarter).Q7: Which of the following giving methods have you used in the past 2 years (select all that apply).Bold numbering in the table on the right indicates significance at the 95% confidence level
