Turn Mid-Level Donors Into Major and Legacy Opportunities

International Relief Organization Case Study
Challenge
A leading international relief organization wanted to expand its mid-level giving without increasing headcount.
Solution
We partnered with the organization to integrate Moore Donor Ambassadors into their mid-level strategy, providing personalized outreach to cultivate, steward, and engage donors. By understanding each donor’s unique motivations, the Ambassadors guided prospects through the giving pipeline, strengthening relationships, and advancing mid-level giving without adding headcount.
Results
- The Ambassador audience outperforms the hold-out panel across all key metrics: retention, reactivation, upgrades, and total giving
- Donors gave 22% more compared to control groups
- Upgrades drove a 65% increase in revenue, demonstrating the effectiveness of personalized Ambassador outreach
Save the Children Case Study
Challenge
COVID and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine created many $1K+ donors for Save the Children, but many of these emergency donors lapsed as a perceived urgency waned.
Solution
Save the Children used modeling to tier their lapsed mid-level donors, then used Moore Donor Ambassadors to do personal outreach via email and phone calls to the highest-ranking individuals. This outreach thanked them, updated them on the emergency and their impact, and talked about ongoing support.
Results
- Exceeded revenue projections by 71%
- Renewed almost 9% of lapsed mid-level donors
- Achieved average gift of $1,265
USA for UNHCR Case Study
Challenge
UNHCR had limited donor movement between mid-level and major giving. As a result, their giving and retention plateaued.
Solution
We modeled their donors to determine the best prospects, then Moore Donor Ambassadors reached out with 1:1 outreach, along with quarterly touchpoints.
Results
- Increased mid-level revenue by 89%
- Achieved ROI of 184%
- Strengthened mid-level donor connections.
