APPLYING A TEST AND LEARN METHODOLOGY TO BEHAVIOURAL ECONOMICS (November 6)

Karen will talk through the trial design and the results of the behavioural economics trial with the Behavioural Insights Team UK. The trial was designed to test an Include a Charity message in the direct mail and the following telemarketing. During the trial much was learnt on how to design a trial and determine statistically viable results. This will be helpful for those of you interested in the results as well as those interested in setting up your own program trials to determine the best marketing return. The webinar will also cover outcomes from trials with The Stroke Foundation and Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

PROTECTING THE FUTURE VALUE OF YOUR GIFTS IN WILLS (August 14)

How big is the problem of people who said while living that they made a gift in their will, but then no gift resulted from the person’s estate ? There are many different reasons – some you cannot influence, but many you can. You will be surprised by some reasons you haven’t considered.

A first-ever study of nine organisations of varying sectors, found an estimated $34 million of apparently lost gifts in just four years. Practical steps are identified to reduce this problem. Organisations could gain huge amounts by reducing this future income loss.

There are also important insights about gift in will donors who were ‘earlier in the pipeline’, and about gifts unknown to the organisation during the donor’s lifetime (how many? from what original sources ?)
