Donor-Focused Development
• Each donor is different-unique-and, therefore, each donor must be cultivated differently, using different techniques, skills and benefits.
• Understanding each person’s motivations enables us to identify their needs and ultimately, to ask them for a gift that is meaningful and appropriate (extraordinary).
![Page 7: Prospect and Moves Management for Major Gifts Robin Kraujalis, CFRE Assistant Director of Development Saint Louis Zoo](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d005503460f949d2dde/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Moves Management
• Each contact with the donor is an opportunity to learn more about their needs and interests and to move the relationship forward in a positive way.
• We need to determine where the person is in the gift-giving cycle (readiness to give) and where we want to move them next.

Prospect research/management is critical to moves management
Prospect research helps us:
• Prioritize
• Strategize – primary players– interests– where they are in gift-giving cycle, next move
• Track our progress
