Quadriga Art | Quadriga Art Presents | The State of Donations
Quadriga Art presents a look at the overall health of the non-profit industry. How do you stack-up against these numbers?
1. Less than 40% of donors will give more than one gift. Furthermore, the “Fundraising Effectiveness Project” indicates that cumulative bad-to-poor growth-in-giving fundraising performance in 2010 was 84%.
2. Recurring Gift Donors only accounted for 10% of all US Donors.
This comes from the donorCentrics “U.S. Recurring Giving Benchmarking Analysis” study. Organizations are missing out on stable, predictable, and highly profitable fundraising revenue. Remember – the biggest predictor of repeat giving is donation recency. Recurring donors are your most valuable.
3. Fundraising Email Response Rate is 0.13%
This comes from the eNonprofit “Benchmarks Study.” That means more than 99.5% of fundraising emails don't yield a donation.
4. Only 26% of Nonprofits Rated their Websites Very Effective
The State of the Nonprofit Industry Survey tells us that 74% of nonprofit websites aren't doing their job. And Facebook is even LESS effective.
Those numbers are unacceptable. And we do everything possible so that our clients don’t ever experience them. Fundraising best practices mandate the following:
Research, test, analyze. Touch, move, inspire. Thank, welcome, invite.
Too many non-profits communicate in a way that asks people to think.
But reason won’t move someone to join support your cause. Logic won’t convince someone to become an evangelist for your group. Analysis won’t sway someone to open his or her wallet and hand out money. However, emotion will … You’re not selling the importance of family – you’re selling a sense of belonging. You’re not selling the importance of reducing crime – you’re selling peace of mind. You’re not selling the importance of working to elect like-minded, like-valued candidates – you’re selling heroism.
Ask yourself this: Does your direct mail move people… make them feel something… compel them to give?
What does your heart tell you?
Next in the Quadriga Art Presents series: You’ve got (direct) mail.

Quadriga Art | About Quadriga Art | Quadriga Art Thought Leadership
In a historic move, the leaders of the country’s three leading sources of information on nonprofits – GuideStar, Charity Navigator, and BBB Wise Giving Alliance – penned an open letter to the donors of America denouncing the “overhead ratio” as a valid indicator of nonprofit performance.
The letter, signed by all three organization’s CEOs, marks the beginning of a campaign to correct the common misconception that the percentage of charity’s expenses that go to administrative and fundraising costs—commonly referred to as “overhead”—is, on its own, an appropriate metric to evaluate when assessing a charity’s worthiness and efficiency. The nonprofit sector, which all three organizations provide information to and about, has too often erroneously focused on overhead over the past few decades, which has starved nonprofits from investing in themselves as enterprises and created what the Stanford Social Innovation Review calls, “The Nonprofit Starvation Cycle.”>br> We need your help in eradicating the Overhead Myth once and for all. In doing so, we will help to ensure that nonprofits have the resources to invest their own sustainability and success! Visit overheadmyth.com.

Quadriga Art Stresses On The Need Of Using Efficient Air Freight
With the initiation of the Carbon Cap on airlines by the European Union just a few months away, the globally renowned non-profit marketing firm Quadriga Art has stressed on the need to efficiently utilize the air freight.
The high transport charges associated with direct mail marketing have a deep impact on the success or failure of fundraising campaigns. That is why professional marketing firms like Quadriga Art stress on the use of efficient transportation services, which can ensure considerable cost saving for non-profit organizations and charities, besides making donor acquisition programs extremely successful.
Apart from optimizing the net revenues for charities, the efficient use of air freight also proves beneficial for global environment.
According to the experts at Quadriga Art, the improper use of transportation also results in excessive environmental and financial loss, which negates the whole idea of acquiring a greater number of donors for charitable causes.
Although, the company has restricted its use of airline and air cargo services to the minimum, it still tries to ensure that even this minimum level of usage is utilized in the most cost effective, and environment friendly manner.
Quadriga Art has always believed in leading by example, and perhaps that is why it has managed to attain a record for the least amount of air freight shipments during the last year.
The company is well aware of the fact that the costs of emissions is rising to the level that is directly affecting the consumers in a noticeable manner. As such the company has started using alternate means of transport, which primarily include using ocean freight and ground services, where possible.
Remaining true to its commitment of environment conservation and providing the most beneficial services to the clients, the company has adapted the most cost effective and eco-friendly means of transportation for its purpose.
Quadriga Art international is one of the leading marketing firms for many nonprofit organizations, which help charities around the world, raise funds through direct mail.To learn more about Quadriga Art international, its direct mail service and its CEO, Mark Schulhof, logon to its website at http://www.quadrigaart.com.

Quadriga Art Launches A New Video News Platform
According to a statement issued by Mark Schulhof, the CEO of Quadriga Art , the purpose of the video news platform is to keep the direct marketing companies working in the non-profit sector updated about the latest developments that might affect their business in any manner. This has largely eliminated the need for such organization to plod through humongous amount of news and information available on the web and in the print media just to extract that small bit of information which might prove vital for their business and needs.
In addition to providing the current and the latest news and information, the new site has also been designed to be able to offer archived stories that can be easily searched with the help of relevant keywords. Mark Schulhof even referred to the new site as the “industry’s TV News Network on the web.”
Given the importance of rapid information flow, especially in the non-profit sector the new site is proving extremely helpful in saving a lot of time and effort besides cutting down operation costs and providing better results for direct marketing campaigns. It is being speculated the new site will also contribute greatly towards increasing donor contribution by making them aware of the latest developments in the non profit industry in a visual manner.
