Early Insights on Fundraiser Productivity

Be among the first to preview research that will be featured in depth at EAB’s upcoming in-person Advancement Executive Roundtable. In this session, we’ll share an early look at our latest findings on fundraiser productivity and revenue growth and invite your feedback before the full research is presented to peers this fall.

During this discussion, we’ll explore questions like:

• What does the data tell us about the staffing models and portfolio structures that produce the strongest fundraising outcomes?
• How should advancement leaders think about fundraiser accountability, incentives, onboarding, and professional development?
• Which long-held assumptions (and newer trends) in advancement practice are supported by the evidence, and which deserve a second look?
• How can institutions improve fundraiser performance without increasing headcount or budgets?
• What practical changes can leaders make today to drive sustainable revenue growth in an increasingly resource-constrained environment?

Drawing on analysis of more than 10,000 fundraiser data points, we’ll offer an exclusive preview of findings that will be explored in much greater depth during our upcoming in-person meetings. Join us to get an early look at the research and help shape the conversation before it reaches a broader audience.
