# Understanding the 4 Donor Insights Tabs

**Overview**

This overview guide explains how the four Donor Insights sub-sections (Daily Digest, Weekly Nudges, Monthly Recap, and Prospects) work together to provide a comprehensive view of donor behavior and fundraising performance.

**When to Use This Guide**

Use this guide to understand the Donor Insights module structure, learn which sub-section best serves different organizational needs, and develop an integrated Donor Insights workflow.

### **The Four Sub-Sections at a Glance**

**Daily Digest:** Real-time snapshot of today's and yesterday's activity. See donations, memberships, and RSVPs with constituent details.

**Weekly Nudges:** AI-powered weekly recommendations for outreach. Ranked by Giving and Engagement Scores, organized into actionable categories.

**Monthly Recap:** Month-by-month overview of fundraising performance. Track revenue, new donors, recurring donors, and donor lifetime value.

**Prospects:** Proactive prospect identification using eight segments combining engagement and lifecycle stage. Build cultivation lists.

### **Daily Digest: Tactical, Daily Use**

Purpose: Monitor daily operations and transaction accuracy.

Best for: Staff who need daily activity snapshots—Development coordinators, Finance team, Executive Directors.

Key metrics: Daily revenue, donation/membership/RSVP counts, individual transaction details.

Use cases:

- Each morning, review yesterday's activity to ensure all gifts were recorded correctly and identify any that need immediate attention.
- Verify that fundraising events resulted in expected transaction volume.
- Track progress toward daily or weekly revenue goals.

Time commitment: 10-15 minutes daily.

### **Weekly Nudges: Strategic Outreach Recommendations**

Purpose: Identify and prioritize weekly outreach opportunities using AI scoring.

Best for: Development Directors, Major Gift Officers, Executive Directors managing donor relationships.

Key metrics: Giving Score (likelihood and value of next gift), Engagement Score (activity level), recommendation categories.

Use cases:

- Each Monday, review the ranked nudges list to identify priority constituents for the week's outreach.
- Focus on high-scoring constituents (both Giving and Engagement 70+) for major gift opportunities.
- Prioritize Lapsed Donor Re-Engagement category for retention efforts.
- Log follow-up actions after outreach to inform future recommendations.

Time commitment: 30-45 minutes weekly during outreach planning.

### **Monthly Recap: Performance Analysis and Benchmarking**

Purpose: Review monthly fundraising performance against goals and historical trends.

Best for: Executive Directors, Development Directors, Board members tracking organizational performance.

Key metrics: Total donation revenue, new first-time donors, new recurring donors, average lifetime value per recurring donor.

Use cases:

- Review monthly performance on the first business day of each month (assess prior month).
- Compare actual revenue against monthly goal.
- Track new donor acquisition and recurring donor growth metrics.
- Export detailed reports for board meetings or strategic planning.
- Identify seasonal patterns by comparing the same months year-over-year.

Time commitment: 20-30 minutes monthly for review and board reporting.

### **Prospects: Proactive Engagement**

Purpose: Identify warm leads and build cultivation lists based on engagement and giving stage.

Best for: Development Directors, Executive Directors building strategic engagement lists.

Key metrics: Eight prospect segments (Engaged/Curious × Donor/Member/Non-Donor/Lapsed), engagement levels.

Use cases:

- Quarterly: Review Engaged Non-Donor segment to identify ways to connect and solicit.
- Monthly: Review Engaged Lapsed Donor list for strategic re-engagement campaigns.
- Ongoing: Use prospects to build strategy for engagement and re-engagement.
- Periodic: Analyze segment composition and movement to assess overall engagement health.

Time commitment: 1-2 hours quarterly for pipeline review; ongoing for targeted exports.

### **Integrated Donor Insights Workflow**

Best-practice organizations integrate all four sub-sections into a coordinated workflow:

**Daily:** Development Coordinator reviews Daily Digest to ensure transaction accuracy.

**Weekly (Monday):** Development team conducts outreach planning using Weekly Nudges ranked list. Assign constituents to officers, plan contact methods.

**Weekly (Ongoing):** Development officers execute outreach to Weekly Nudges list constituents. Log activities in Humanitru for team visibility.

**Monthly (1st of month):** Executive Director and Development Director review Monthly Recap. Assess performance, review board presentation needs.

**Quarterly (Month-end):** Development team reviews Prospects segments. Identify major gift candidates, build cultivation lists, export for research.

### **Choosing Which Sub-Section for Your Needs**

Different questions point to different sub-sections:

**"Did yesterday's event generate expected revenue?" → Daily Digest** Get real-time transaction data and verification.

**"Who should we call this week?" → Weekly Nudges** Let AI scoring guide your outreach priority.

**"Are we on pace to hit our annual revenue goal?" → Monthly Recap** Benchmark actual vs. goal, identify trends.

**"Who are our best prospects?" → Prospects** Filter by engagement and giving stage, build cultivation lists.

### **Data Updates and Refresh Frequency**

**Daily Digest:** Updated daily; yesterday's data available each morning.

**Weekly Nudges:** Updated weekly (typically Monday morning); scores recalculated based on latest transaction and engagement data.

**Monthly Recap:** Updated monthly at month-end; previous months available for historical review.

**Prospects:** Updated weekly; segment membership refreshed as constituent behavior and scores change.

### **Key Metrics Across All Sub-Sections**

Metrics you'll encounter across Donor Insights:

- Giving Score: Likelihood and value of next gift (1-99 percentile).
- Engagement Score: Activity level and interaction frequency (1-99 percentile).
- Revenue: Total donations, memberships, or RSVP revenue.
- Lifetime Value (LTV): Projected total value of a constituent over relationship.
- Recency: Time since last gift or engagement.
- Frequency: How often a constituent gives or engages.
- Donor Segment: Classification (e.g., Engaged Non-Donor, Lapsed Major Donor).

### **Best Practices for Donor Insights Success**

- Assign clear ownership: Who reviews Daily Digest? Who manages Weekly Nudges outreach? Who handles quarterly Prospects analysis?
- Log all activities: When outreach happens, log it in Humanitru so scores and recommendations improve.
- Review weekly: Make Weekly Nudges review a fixed meeting (e.g., Monday 9am).
- Export and share: Use Monthly Recap exports for board meetings and strategic planning with leadership.
- Measure results: Track conversion rates from each sub-section to assess effectiveness of your Donor Insights usage.

### **Common Workflow Mistakes to Avoid**

- Ignoring the Daily Digest: Transaction errors can create downstream problems in Nudges scoring.
- Not logging Weekly Nudges outreach: Without activity logs, AI can't learn what works and scores stagnate.
- Over-relying on AI alone: Scores are guides, not destiny. Always layer in your relationship knowledge and capacity research.
- Only using Prospects for donations: Engaged segments also support membership strategies..
- No coordination: If multiple people reach out to the same constituent without knowing, you damage the relationship.

### **Pro Tips**

- Encourage your team to use Daily Digest to review donations, memberships and RSVPs for personalized communication, etc.
- Use Weekly Nudges categories in your CRM workflow names (e.g., 'Weekly Nudge: Lapsed Donor Re-Engagement') to track which source drove outreach.
- Export Monthly Recap reports the day after month-end; don't wait—data changes over time.
- Build a strategy for Prospects identified in Donor Insights to communicate effectively and steward relationships with your supporters.
