ST. PAUL, MINN. (January 31, 2012) — Reeher LLC announced that Temple University has joined the Reeher Platform, the first shared management system dedicated to higher-education fundraising in which features and tools added for one customer benefit all. The public Philadelphia-based university, which serves approximately 39,000 students and nearly 280,000 alumni, is using the Reeher Platform to optimize annual giving programs, increase major giving effectiveness and maintain strong alumni relations.<br /><br />

“After recently coming out of a campaign, we are looking to reinvigorate and expand our donor base,” says Joseph G. Kain, Jr., Director - Advancement Analytics, Institutional Advancement at Temple University. “We needed a user-friendly dashboard to determine progress and identify our most viable prospects. The Reeher Platform will provide us with the tools to identify new prospects and potential major gift donors.”<br /><br />

Temple University selected the Reeher Platform for key benefits including predictive models customized for the university’s needs, web-based tools and ongoing support leading to wide usage and improved results. Implementation is planned for January.<br /><br />

The innovative Reeher Platform subscription model provides a cost-effective solution to improving fundraising for institutions of any size or any budget, bringing the concept of “sharing best practices” in the collaborative world of university fundraising to a more practical level.<br /><br />

ABOUT THE REEHER PLATFORM<br />
Through its custom predictive models, management tools and Reeher Community Network, the Reeher Platform puts fundraising on the fast track, helping colleges and universities find up to 40 percent of new best prospect donors they didn’t know existed and uncover nearly 30 percent of wasted fundraising time, money and energy. With the Reeher Expected Value Index, universities and colleges can identify new donors, as well as see which donors to contact, predict the best major gift prospects and annual fund donors, and make more confident decisions about future strategies, appeals and goals.<br /><br />

The Reeher Platform provides information immediately, without having to wait for updated reports. It’s a SaaS-based platform, allowing advancement teams to quickly access the information they need from anywhere at any time, spending more time making contact with prospects and less time searching. The Platform also provides the opportunity to learn from peers, with instant access to best practices, as well as global updates and upgrades that benefit everyone using the Reeher Platform. <br /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ST. PAUL, MINN. (November 30, 2011) — For leaders in higher education advancement, a standardized performance analysis is difficult to come by. Historically, colleges and universities have used different criteria to measure fundraising successes and shortcomings, making it difficult to achieve a clear picture of trends in giving and areas for improvement – especially when measuring an institution’s success relative to other institutions’ results.  <br />  <br /> 

Now, though, a new tool delivers standardized measurement of key success factors in higher education development. The Reeher Platform has introduced the Reeher Vista Fundraising Profile and Performance Scorecard, a revolutionary year-end performance report that helps advancement leaders identify areas of success and opportunities for improvement. The Vista Scorecard examines a development department’s performance versus what its performance should be, given the factors unique to each organization.  <br />  <br /> 

By uniquely applying predictive models, the Vista Scorecard revolutionizes how the industry can view performance, providing institutions with the first-ever analysis of how they should be performing using the same yardstick across institutions. The report, which was unveiled during an exclusive customer-wide webinar in October, provides detailed insight into three areas — constituent potential, annual fund trends and major giving performance — delivering an unprecedented understanding of how alumni give, major gift officer performance and missed opportunities.  <br />  <br /> 

While each Vista Scorecard report is unique to the subscriber’s institution, the standardized metrics allow for comparison across universities. This lays the groundwork for institutions to compare themselves to similar universities, giving senior-level advancement leaders a better picture of how their fundraising efforts measure up at a higher level. The Vista Scorecard is already helping three key networks of institutions including private research universities such as Johns Hopkins University, Duke University and Clemson University; large public universities such as the University of Cincinnati, University of Delaware, University of Kentucky and University of New Hampshire; and elite private liberal arts colleges such as Vassar College, Wellesley College, Haverford College, Emerson College, Hamline College and Hamilton College. <br /> <br />

“The early feedback we’ve received on the Vista Scorecard is that it is giving institutions insight that they have never had before.  By combining our alumni valuation criteria with their trend information they can see where to invest and where to improve,” said Andrew Reeher, CEO and founder of Reeher LLC. “This is an industry that wants to get better together.” <br /> <br />

Reeher has found that performance is best measured by looking at three factors: the wealth of constituents, the likelihood of constituents to donate and how development staffs reach constituents.  “The Vista Scorecard closes that third gap in understanding,” Reeher said. “Our commitment to organizations is to help them improve their results and accountability; it’s not just buying a benchmarking or performance report. The Vista Scorecard provides a framework to work together to improve performance.” <br /> <br />

The Vista Scorecard features dozens of eye-opening charts and graphs that immediately highlight strengths and weaknesses in an advancement department. Depending on the institution’s subscription, the Vista Scorecard includes in-depth analyses of factors such as alumni participation by graduation year; potential of unassigned constituents based on affinity to donate; and individual officer performance. <br /> <br />

“Knowing the trends and numbers at this detailed level is a powerful tool for advancement leaders,” Reeher said. “The new report will help leaders easily share data with their teams and give them the information to make important long-term decisions, such as to re-balance major gift officers’ portfolios so that their time can be spent on the constituents most likely to donate.” <br /> <br />

The new Vista Scorecard report will be included in the Reeher Platform subscription at no extra cost. The report provides a powerful complement to Reeher’s continuing stream of successful tools designed to improve higher education fundraising, including the Reeher Community Network, Targeter and Alumni Affinity Clusters.   <br /> <br />

“Every tool in the Reeher Platform is designed to make the improvement process more rapid and less expensive for advancement leaders,” Reeher said. “We believe the new Vista Scorecard report will help leaders at the colleges and universities we work with continue to improve their results, become more agile in positive process change and produce breakthrough fundraising results.” <br /> <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Reeher LLC announced that Haverford College has joined the Reeher Platform, a leading software service that improves higher education fundraising management. The private Haverford, Penn.-based college, which serves approximately 1,200 students and more than 13,000 alumni, parents and friends, is using the Reeher Platform to increase retention of donors to its Annual Fund, as well as identify and predict the best new prospects.</br></br>

“For a school of our size, we’ve developed a sophisticated and well-resourced alumni relations and annual giving program, and have benefited with a strong annual fund participation rate of 48 to 50 percent,” says Craig Waltman, senior associate director of alumni relations and annual giving at Haverford College. “We noticed a pattern of some donors giving only every other year or every third year. This on-again, off-again pattern had been happening for awhile, and we needed to understand and address it to continue Annual Fund growth.” </br></br>

“With the Reeher Platform, we’ve been able to pinpoint the people we’re retaining from year to year – and those we weren’t – and develop strategies to bring those who were sliding off the giving wagon back on again,” says Diane Wilder, assistant vice president for institutional advancement at Haverford College. “One of the other important functions the Reeher Platform provides is the ability to help us uncover new Annual Fund prospects. It’s a great tool that our research team can use to sift through the prospect pool and identify the best prospects more quickly than we might have otherwise.”</br></br>

The Haverford College Annual Fund program is well staffed, with gift officers traveling across the country to meet with past, current and prospective donors. According to Wilder, the Reeher Platform has made a valuable difference in helping gift officers to determine additional prospects to meet with during their travels through its unique geographic targeting and web-based, mobile functionality.</br></br>

ABOUT THE REEHER PLATFORM</br>
Through its custom predictive models, management tools and Reeher Community Network, the Reeher Platform puts fundraising on the fast track, helping colleges and universities find up to 40 percent of new best prospect donors they didn’t know existed and uncover nearly 30 percent of wasted fundraising time, money and energy. With the Reeher Expected Value Index, universities and colleges can identify new donors, as well as see which donors to contact, predict the best major gift prospects and annual fund donors, and make more confident decisions about future strategies, appeals and goals.</br></br>

The Reeher Platform provides information immediately, without having to wait for updated reports. It’s a SaaS-based platform, allowing advancement teams to quickly access the information they need from anywhere at any time, spending more time making contact with prospects and less time searching. The Platform also provides the opportunity to learn from peers, with instant access to best practices, as well as global updates and upgrades that benefit everyone using the Reeher Platform. </br></br>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Executive-level advancement and development leaders at colleges and universities across the country have one thing in common: the ongoing need to keep their fingers on the pulse on the success of their major giving campaigns, including the status of current gifts and those in the pipeline. <br /><br />

Today, that critical objective is much easier to achieve. The Reeher Platform has introduced a new tool to provide fundraising executives with global views of their gift officers’ performance and major giving campaigns through intuitive reports that evaluate the overall success in real-time, making any problems and opportunities immediately visible. <br /><br />

The new Reeher Platform tool is the first-of-its-kind, Web-based reporting function designed specifically for executive leaders in higher education. The new reports can be customized by the user, and feature easy-to-scan charts and graphs that illustrate key metrics that immediately give executives the ability to look at the pipeline and evaluate the value of each relationship, and determine whether gift officers are catering to the highest-expected givers. The tool allows leaders to see how existing relationships are performing, as well as how to reach new prospects to continue sustainable growth.<br /><br />

<b>To see how the new executive tool works, a brief video is available at <a href="http://bit.ly/ReeherExecReporting">http://bit.ly/ReeherExecReporting</a>.</b><br /><br />


<blockquote>
“Over the past three or four years, the rules of thumb that fundraisers have traditionally followed have become less and less reliable,” said Andrew Reeher, CEO and founder Reeher LLC, which developed the Reeher Platforms. “Higher-ed fundraisers are grappling with a new reality, and are working to reinvent how fundraising works. This new tool provides a systematic, proven data-driven approach designed to deliver a better return on investment.”<br /><br />
</blockquote>


The tool is unique to the market as it blends predictive models with management tools, advice, support, and a proven process, all designed to help fundraising executives make informed decisions based on real-time facts. The reports are flexible and easy-to-use, starting with global views of the campaign, and with the click of the mouse, executives can drill down multiple layers to see individual profiles of donors. By connecting to existing infrastructure, it captures and compares past, current and upcoming prospects to forecast and plan for the future. These views also report how the campaign is doing overall, including previous years compared to current status, how much was granted and which officers were involved, proposals in the pipeline, as well as trends indicating how the team is covering the organization’s pool of prospects.<br /><br />



<blockquote>“While working closely with fundraising executives at universities and colleges across the country during training and implementation of the Reeher Platform, we learned that they had a specific set of questions that if they had the answers to, they could do a better job of applying results, as well as keep their board members, deans and others informed,” said Cricket Buntje, Reeher Vice President of Customer Care.<br /><br />
</blockquote>


The new executive tool will be included in the current Reeher Platform for major gifts, and available to all universities and colleges who are currently using the platform starting in mid-August. It will also be included at no additional cost to new Reeher Platform customers for a limited time. The executive tool provides a powerful complement to Reeher’s continuing stream of successful tools designed to improve higher education fundraising, including the Reeher Community Network, Targeter and Alumni Affinity Clusters.  <br /><br />
