Back to UpdatesCase Study: How to Use Ovrture to Cultivate A Major Gift
In the heart of a vibrant city, a family foundation embarked on a mission to make a profound impact on the world. Partnering with a local, yet world-renowned healthcare non-profit, their philanthropic vision found harmony with a groundbreaking idea. This partnership helped the non-profit receive a major gift of $15 million. They used a new digital tool for major donor cultivation to improve their communication efforts.
They used Ovrture.
While, of course, we cannot disclose the client, their funding ambition, or the donor, we can share insights from a recent philanthropy conference. During the keynote session, the family foundation shared their inspiring journey of receiving regular updates via a “private website” created by the non-profit during the cultivation process. From their perspective, the digital platform was pivotal in helping the foundation grasp the immense potential of their generous major gift.
This story showcased the powerful synergy between the family foundation and the non-profit. The foundation’s aspiration to create significant change combined with the non-profit’s visionary leadership, dedicated fundraising professionals, skilled communicators, and expert donor relations team to form a dynamic partnership. The non-profit’s strategic use of Ovrture allowed them to design a personalized website meticulously tailored to the foundation’s interests, offering consistent updates throughout the major donor fundraising cultivation and solicitation process.
This carefully crafted, personalized approach resonated deeply with the family foundation, instilling a profound sense of value and connection. Now, as the non-profit stewards the gift, the donor relations team continues to use Ovrture to share monthly updates with the foundation. The family foundation will experience an ongoing, bespoke digital journey, illuminating the impact of their $15 million major gift contribution. The site will be an ongoing part of the major donor cultivation plan and offer unique ongoing donor stewardship opportunities.
