Quickly develop an excellent understanding of donor preferences with the ability to build out segmentation strategies through different data sources.

Capture operational, gift, biographical, relationship, and survey data about donor attitudes, needs, capacities, and behaviors, for use in shaping and improving the donor experience and marketing segmentation strategies.
