GivingTree Detective: Lapsed, Engaged Donors [Video]

 

Welcome to the GivingTree Detective! In this video, I’m going to help you uncover great prospects that have been hiding in the depths of your database—all starting with the “Unassigned” search filter in GivingTree. Although these folks have slipped through the cracks because they’re not currently assigned, there’s a lot of potential you might be missing.

Today, we’re going to focus on a series of searches building off of the “Unassigned” filter. By the end, we’ll have a list of “Lapsed, Engaged Donors” that you can send along to your research team for a closer look.

Watch the video above for the full tutorial. I’ve also included a step-by-step below for easy reference. Happy sleuthing!

Full disclosure: This tutorial assumes that you are a GivingTree user. Learn more about GivingTree here
