In Service: The Column of the ADRP President
Keri Kallaway
Senior Director, Donor Relations and Gift Services
Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation
Dear fellow ADRPers,
I am thrilled that this month’s issue of The Hub is focused on one of my favorite elements of our professional world: reporting!
There is an art and science to donor relations and one of the core functions of a best-in-class program is impact reporting. Impact reporting is critical to donor retention and donor loyalty. Illustrating donor impact helps to build trust with those who invest in our organizations and mission, and building that trusting relationship is cultivation for the next gift. We owe it to our donors to communicate how their philanthropy makes a difference.

Mallory Perdue
Director of Stewardship
Vanderbilt University
As all of us shifted our stewardship practices to adjust to a remote work environment in early 2020, one question plagued our team at Vanderbilt perhaps more so than others—how do we now execute our print reporting projects that have historically been managed in-house?

Digital Impact Reporting: Between the Idea & the Reality
Chris Snavely at Ovrture, our Hub Annual Sponsor
Three years ago, we began to build a digital platform that automated the creation of impact reports. This journey (along with numerous patient and insightful clients) revealed that we had to span a number of contradictions...
- Build an on-brand experience for each donor while achieving the economy of serving hundreds of clients.
- Distribute thousands of reports simultaneously while enabling delightful and deep personalization.
- Allow for efficient, client-specific data ingestion while being agnostic to a client’s specific CRM.

What is your greatest donor relations/stewardship achievement?
I hope my greatest career achievement is ahead of me! But before transitioning to the Donor Relations and Stewardship team at NYU, I was the stewardship liaison for the School of Professional Studies. I did a full fund inventory for SPS—this meant going through old files, finding gift agreements, etc., determining which fund belonged where. Doing this made sure we were spending all of our funds and reconnecting with past donors.
