Description

Are nonprofits putting too much stock into attributing where each gift came from? It's never been easier to measure as many things as we're able to quantify now. And yet, in our omni-channel world, it's never been harder to truly measure the things that matter.That's why on today's podcast, Mike and Louis get into why focusing too much on gift attribution could be causing you to miss the bigger picture. Because what drives donor behavior is often very different than how we measure donor behavior.So do we need better attribution, or does attribution matter less than we think it does? We argue that—generally speaking—many orgs need to worry less about perfecting attribution. And instead focus more on team KPIs and a holistic way of looking at fundraising.
