Acquisition & Annual Fund

A catalyst for growth, acquisition is essential to driving engagement that allows you to deliver on your mission. Blending rich analytics with authentic storytelling, Pursuant believes that acquisition should be measured in both short-term volume and long-term value. We establish your unique value, layer in an attention-capturing offer, and align your messages with the ideal audience. The result is direct response fundraising and marketing with a quicker conversion rate, higher average gift, increased gift frequency, and greater long-term value.

Discover the hidden gems of direct response marketing with mid-level and annual fund upgrades.

Mid-Level & Upgrade

Mid-level and annual fund upgrades are the hidden gems of direct response fundraising. Working as a systematic, integrated, and data-driven lead generation engine, mid-level donor enhancements increase revenue in the short term while creating a pipeline of prospects for repeatable upgrades to major and planned giving. We create deliberate pathways that support acquisition of new donors at the mid-level, drive the intentional upgrade of annual fund donors to mid-level and when necessary, allow mid-level to serve as a resting place for your most generous donors who may be between major gifts.
