Your Charity Gala Needs Better Donor Capture
Your annual fundraising gala is your biggest donor acquisition opportunity of the year. Your guests are dressed up, your speeches are polished, and your cause is front and centre.
Your challenge is converting that emotional energy into lasting donor relationships. Your contact capture process determines whether tonight’s guests become tomorrow’s regular supporters.
Your gala generates warm leads
Your guests have already shown interest by attending. Your table hosts have built rapport over dinner. Your auction has created excitement. Your speakers have tugged at heartstrings.
Your guests are primed to give. Your job is to capture their details before the evening ends and the emotion fades.
Your volunteers become your scanning team
You don’t need expensive badge scanners. Your volunteers can use their own phones with the Business Card Scan app.
- Your registration desk scans each guest’s card as they arrive
- Your table hosts scan cards during the networking portions
- Your team adds notes about giving interest and capacity
- Your donor database updates in real time throughout the evening
- Your thank-you emails go out before your guests wake up the next morning
Your follow-up makes the difference
Your guests attended one evening. Your follow-up determines whether they attend next year and bring friends. Your personalised thank-you email, your impact report, and your regular updates keep your cause at the front of their minds.
Your scanning app made this possible by capturing every guest’s details accurately and immediately. Your donor pipeline starts at the door.
