How much is the right amount to ask donors for? 
Michael Gorriarán, President @ Arjuna Solutions, joins the show to answer this fundamental question. Dan and Michael discuss how Arjuna applies behavioral economics to determine the optimal ask amount for creating long-term relationships with donors which maximizes their lifetime value potential. 
Topics Discussed Also Include: 
- How behavioral economics also help non-profits determine when and often to mail individual donors (important in an era of inflation and declining response rates)
- Why behavioral economic modeling takes a clearer picture of donors than transactional data or wealth screening alone  
- The importance of optimizing ask amounts across channels (Did you know that asking donors for different amounts on and offline can hurt LTV?)
- How to break down barriers and silos which prevent cross-channel collaboration from happening (a favorite topic of discussion on Dynamic Non-Profits!)
- Budgeting solutions that can make non-profits more nimble 
- Plus, so much more! 
Michael also shares his family history in philanthropy and the lessons he learned working at Microsoft that can increase the impact of the non-profit sector. 
This is a fun conversation for fundraisers and data geeks alike which is chalk full of practical solutions, but also addresses some critical bigger picture issues for the fundraising industry.
