Dramatically expand coverage

What is the meaning of DXO? A nonprofit Donor Experience (DX) Program changes the game, letting you manage thousands of your best, overlooked prospects, 10x coverage of your pyramid, and create a major gift pipeline by connecting with donors via consistent, ongoing outreach.

Make donors feel valued, build better long-term relationships, and prime them for a lifetime of giving.

Build and run Donor Experience programs

We took traditional one-to-one fundraising experiences and stripped out every inefficiency.

No travel. No committee meetings. No event planning. No time lost wading through spreadsheets or your CRM.

Donor experience officers (DXOs) focus exclusively on building relationships with 1,000 or more donors, closing and stewarding gifts, and identifying new major gift leads.

Personalization is the priority

Generic email blasts and phonathon voicemails don’t get it done.

With access to EverTrue’s continually updated profiles which provide a stream of continually updated engagement, wealth, and career data, digital donor experience officers (DXOs) easily create and personalize outreach based on each donor’s interests, affinity, giving history, and more.

Intelligent guidance for fundraisers

DXOs are responsible for reaching out to 50+ donors each day.

Using EverTrue’s software, they start every morning with a list of everyone who needs a call, email, or text based on each donor’s engagement or stage. Then they plan and execute outreach, visits, and contact reports all in one place. 

By guiding these fundraisers on who to talk to and when, we allow them to focus only on personalized qualification, cultivation, and stewardship.

Engage your best, overlooked prospects

We build nonprofit digital donor experience officer (DXO) portfolios for you using our proprietary insights and scoring to spot unassigned donors with the greatest giving potential.

We look at past giving, current engagement, wealth, interests, career insights, and more to identify the next generation of major gift donors. With each DXO assigned to 1,000 or more people, you can easily 10x the number of managed prospects.

Clear activity metrics and ROI

With ongoing, in-depth reporting, you’ll stay on top of activity, portfolio coverage, and prospect stages. 

Our DX Program Managers — all former fundraisers — are responsible for ongoing oversight of your DXO program and report regularly on donor retention, upgrades, reactivation, revenue, and projected donor fundraising pipeline.

It's all about Polite Persistence

From video messages to breakup emails and 1-2 “punches” in between, we’re breaking it down with the THREE things you need to get started today. Ready to get politely persistent?
