Common methods of fundraising
• Identify individuals capable of a charitable gift
• Qualify an individual’s charitable intent in relationship to the needs and mission of the institution
• Maintain and continue a history of charitable giving

Geography of philanthropy
• Nature of charitable behavior is complex
• Need to better understand donors
• Become more knowledgeable about social, economic & geographic environment of donors– Geopsychodemographic

Applying GIS in fundraising
• Geocode every address at the most refined level
• Create donor and/or non-donor profiles from secondary data linked to the geography from which the donor comes
• Identify geography that contains individuals similar to those who match the donor profile

A Plan
• Identify type of database used in IA• Standardize database attributes for
compatibility with GIS query functions• Download ArcGIS software and dataset• Provide one-on-one training with
tutorials so IA staff can get started using GIS
• Train IA staff how to use GPS in conjunction with MapPoint software

Training options
• BusinessMAP – No ESRI virtual campus course; ESRI
online support forum; special customer training
• MapPoint 2006– Software instruction manual is user-
friendly; explains everything the software can do
• StreetMap USA

ConclusioConclusionsns
![Page 34: The Role of GIS in Institutional Advancement](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56814e95550346895dbc3cd5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Conclusions
1. There doesn’t appear to be any enterprise-wide GIS systems used in institutional advancement. Most IA are just starting to use GIS. IA offices currently using GIS are in the minority.
2. GIS programs most often chosen for use in Advancement are ESRI’s ArcGIS/ArcView, BusinessMap, and Microsoft’s MapPoint.

Conclusions3. IA use GIS primarily to analyze data, create
maps and graphs, and plan business travel. A few use GIS for data management; most use MS Access and Excel for their databases.
4. A majority of IA feel maps and geographically-referenced data are important in their work, GIS has been effective in supporting their work, and that GIS technology will play an important part in their IA research in the future.

Conclusions
5. Working first-hand with Northland College’s IA staff will enable a better understanding of how GIS can best be used to support Advancement’s mission. • Training IA staff how to use GIS
software will be an important priority.
