Donor Relations and Stewardship 

Regardless of the purpose or size of a gift made to your advancement program, the gift signals the donor’s desire to support your mission and to be in relationship with your school or organization for the long term.  Partners in Mission helps you recognize the opportunities for relationship behind each gift, establish a program that welcomes each donor into relationship with you, and develop a “moves management” program for each that recognizes the interest, philanthropic capability, relationships, and other factors that will move the donor from their first gift to their ultimate gift.  Similar to most personal relationships, the donor relationship must be nurtured and lovingly grown over the short and long term.
