Proficient in Major Non-Profit CRMs, Prospect Research & Stewardship Portals
Our specialized Donor Relations Virtual Assistants operate directly inside your donor management software, wealth intelligence engines, personalized communication suites, and gala ticketing platforms from day one.
What Your Donor Relations Virtual Assistant Executes Daily
Major gift fundraisers and development directors should be having coffee with high-net-worth philanthropists, not manually formatting tax receipts or fixing duplicated contact records. Delegate the entire backend administration.
48-Hour Gift Acknowledgment & Tax Receipting
Dispatches personalized, IRS-compliant acknowledgment letters and official charitable tax receipts within 48 hours of gift entry. Tailors language based on giving designations (endowment, annual fund, capital campaign, memorial tributes) and prepares executive signature queues for major gifts.
Donor Database Hygiene & Moves Management
Maintains clean records in Raiser's Edge NXT, Bloomerang, or Salesforce NPSP. Logs donor interaction notes, merges duplicate constituent records, updates NCOA address changes, manages household accounts, and tracks pipeline stages (Identification, Cultivation, Solicitation, Stewardship).
Prospect Research & Wealth Screening Briefs
Screens incoming first-time donors through WealthEngine and DonorSearch to uncover real estate holdings, past political/philanthropic gifts, and corporate board affiliations. Prepares executive briefing memos for your CEO and Board before high-stakes discovery meetings.
LYBUNT & SYBUNT Lapsed Donor Recovery
Pulls and segments recurring LYBUNT (Last Year But Unfortunately Not This) and SYBUNT reports. Deploys targeted re-engagement campaigns, flags expiring credit card tokens on monthly sustaining pledges, and schedules gentle reminder touchpoints before fiscal year-end deadlines.
Endowment & Impact Stewardship Reports
Compiles tailored annual stewardship reports for restricted endowment funds, named scholarships, and corporate grant makers. Gathers recipient testimonials, financial yield summaries, and program outcome photography into clean, high-impact presentation decks.
Gala Table Seating & Corporate Sponsor Care
Manages guest list logistics in OneCause or Greater Giving for annual fundraising galas and donor luncheons. Collects attendee dietary requirements, tracks corporate table sponsorship benefits, prepares name badges, and verifies silent auction donor acknowledgment items.
