412. How Cornell Reimagined Donor Engagement at Massive Scale - Ashley Budd
Meet Ashley. Ya’ll. We gotta talk about the jaw-dropping + disruptive + groundbreaking way Cornell reimagined its team structure to unleash radical engagement. Reorganizing teams can be anxiety-inducing, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, but Cornell’s restructure led to a paradigm-shifting ripple in engagement - like moving from raising $600M to nearly $1B in less than three years🤯 This is a brilliant case study in how to radically unlock the potential of the bottom of your donor pyramid to yield big gains not just financially, but in engagement, story, awareness, event attendance, and loyalty🤝
