When it comes to campaign fundraising, one of the most important, yet often overlooked, factors in achieving success is managing and promoting donor-named spaces, programs, and naming opportunities. This blog post will delve into how using Giftmap, an innovative data and mapping tool created by PDG, to manage donor-named spaces and promote naming opportunities can enhance your fundraising efforts. With Giftmap, you can raise funds more quickly, strengthen donor relationships, and create lasting legacies.

Are You Making the Most of Your Naming Opportunities?

Donor-named spaces serve as a powerful means to reinforce enduring relationships with donors. When incorporated into a comprehensive fundraising and stewardship plan, they become the bonds that connect your donors' passions to your cause for generations to come. While previously reserved for high-level donors during capital campaigns, named spaces now offer a broader array of possibilities that can engage mid-level donors. The possibilities are endless, from naming buildings and departments to wings, auditoriums, libraries, labs, classrooms, and patient rooms. And let's not forget about exterior spaces, where gardens, fountains, benches, and pathways open up additional opportunities for donor recognition. If it's visible and accessible to the public, it holds the potential for donor recognition value.

Donor Recognition Audit: You Can't Manage What You Don't Measure

How can you efficiently uncover the multitude of naming opportunities scattered across your entire campus? The answer lies in leveraging PDG's inventory audit team. We are well-versed in walking the halls of higher education and healthcare institutions, quickly identifying named spaces and naming opportunities for you. Within a span of 2 to 5 days, our professional team can complete comprehensive inventories of previously named spaces while identifying available naming opportunities. As we meticulously survey your campus, we often identify funding opportunities that may have eluded your team. This can result in raising hundreds of thousands of additional dollars for your organization.

Once the inventory audit is completed, how can you organize and present the current named spaces and available naming opportunities to your fundraising team? How will you systematically track their availability, reservations, and allocations to specific donors? To address these challenges, PDG has developed Giftmap—a dynamic data and mapping tool designed to document and manage the locations of donor recognition assets across your campuses, buildings, and exterior spaces. Bid farewell to the confusion of multiple spreadsheets, scattered maps, and disjointed tracking methods. Giftmap unlocks your true fundraising potential by identifying and accurately tracking every naming opportunity, streamlining your team's work, and presenting donors with appealing opportunities through robust search functionality, captivating photos, and detailed descriptions.
