Recently I presented at the AASP Summit in Milwaukee, and I am so pleased with the reception and the discussion. The room was full, people jumped into the conversation right away.

One thing I heard a lot: many organizations are still doing highly manual reporting, and for a lot of them "reporting" means a list. Lists are useful, but they don't give you the insight that a good visual or dashboard can. The questions ranged from "does the embedded web version have all the same features?" to "how do we handle soft credits?" to "how do we deliver these tools without people abandoning their CRM?" All good ones.

Attendees learned that they don't have to wait for their data pipeline to be perfect to start building the dashboards they've been dreaming about. They can start today, with the data they already have.

I was also able to attend sessions and was so glad I was able to attend a session with Nadine Francis with Betterverse Consulting whom I have enjoyed connecting and collaborating with on projects.

Thank you to everyone who came, asked questions, and stuck around to chat. I loved being there.

Your donor list is talking. Do you know how to listen?

Most fundraisers have a gut sense of who their best donors are. But gut instinct can't tell you who's about to lapse, who's ready to upgrade, or who's been quietly loyal for years without being recognized.

That's what RFM scoring does, and for nonprofits, it's not a nice-to-have. It's how you stop treating your $25 first-time donor and your 10-year sustainer the same way. It looks at three things: how recently someone gave, how often they give, and how much they've given. That combination tells you more about donor intent than almost anything else in your database.

RFM scoring has been one of the most requested things I get from clients. Not the concept because most of you get it, but the actual doing of it. The sorting, the segmenting, the figuring out who to prioritize in your next campaign.

So I built the RFM Companion. It's a tool specifically for nonprofit fundraisers, the kind who know their data matters but don't necessarily have the capacity to build scoring systems from scratch. You plug in your data. It gives you a clear, segmented picture of your donor base.

No consulting retainer. No learning curve. Just answers.

Clean data isn't perfect data. Instead, think of clean data as an indicator that your systems are consistent and structured enough to be useful.

Some data quality challenges nonprofits encounter include:

⚠ Duplicate records
⚠ Missing information
⚠ Inconsistent formatting

For example, donor information might be entered differently depending on who added it to the system. Small differences like these can make reporting harder, but can also be corrected over time.

💡 Clean data isn't about perfection. It's about reducing inconsistencies so information becomes easier to work with.
