Managing information and utilizing fundraising software is not only an effective way for nonprofits to track and preserve donor information it can help establish donor loyalty along with making it easier to solicit new or repeat donations.

The data that is assembled in the fundraising software are potentially sensitive and confidential and the agencies have an ethical responsibility to ensure the data is sheltered. This responsibility can be revealed in a set of principles known as "A Donor Bill of Rights."

The main goal of the Donor Bill of Rights is to strengthen the relationship between donors and organizations though following a guideline of conduct. One of the pillars of the Donor Bill of Rights states, "....information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality (Petty, 2008)." Ethical considerations should be taken by the nonprofit and are as follows.

If a donor provides information they should be made aware of how that information is being utilized and who will be using the facts. This dialogue should be seen in a disclosure section. Donors should have the right to refuse to provide certain informational points based on the acknowledgements described in the disclosure section. Handling information with respect also means that once a donor makes available the information it is used in the way designated by the organization in the disclosure section.

Cause-related marketing is the partnership of corporate and nonprofit organizations. Hopefully the collaboration brings mutual benefits for either side. A corporation will use the nonprofit name and reputation, their positive connotation, to try and increase sales and/or services while the nonprofit gains additional funding through a portion of the sales profit being donated to the organization.

Here is a small level example, a local restaurant will give 5% of the sales of a bill by a customer to a local charity organization if they dine at the restaurant on a certain day/time. As a result the restaurant has increased traffic and sales while the local charity receives monies because of the event. The restaurant will hopefully also bring in new customers that would that have not tried their restaurant in the first place and may continue to come back.

The charity will hopefully have more funding then they did have and if the event is successful the restaurant may be willing to continue to have such events. Caused-related marketing is a controversial approach because this relationship does not traditionally evoke the "spirit of goodness."

Corporations could be using nonprofits and the desire for donors to be a part of something larger than themselves while increasing the company's profits, or it is not truly a philanthropic endeavor for the corporations (Weinstein, 2017). Another negative attribution that can be associated with cause-related marketing is the effect on a brands' reputation. If a corporation or nonprofit does not pick a good partner the others reputation could be threatened or destroyed.

Finding major gift givers or major gift prospects is vital to the success of major gift fundraising. Mining for gift givers will be easier if specific data is gathered about the prospects to help in the potential procurement of funding.

This will allow nonprofits to effectively plan, implement, complete, and repeat good fundraising events and/or activities. Information that should be collected includes how prospects are connected to the nonprofit's mission, what do prospects like to do or participate in, what they may be able to donate, and who could they refer to the cause.

It is a good idea to learn about the relationship with an organization because this will identify donor loyalty or how much they invested, which also goes along with knowing about interests and hobbies because forming fundraising events that donors would actually want to participate in leads to success. The events will not work if no one wants to attend thus no one shows up resulting in no funding coming in.

Finally it is important to know what donors will possibly donate so that you can align the different levels of major gift giving appropriately. It is safe to say that donors will not want to attend an event if the gift levels are out of reach for themselves or possibly those they would bring along with them to the fundraising occasions. Donor referrals can also be exponentially necessary to expand your donor pool, increasing your major gift collecting abilities in the future (Weinstein, 2017).
