In main Training Manual, sample handed out
Who, What & Why
Chapter activities
PAOE Reminders
RVC activities
Staff activities
and how it all ties in together
Fundraising Terms
LYBUNTS Last Year donors who haven’t given yet
this year
SYBUNTS Previous donors who haven’t given yet this
year and didn’t give last year
Non Donor Member who hasn’t given in 5+ yrs
See Pg. 22
LYBUNTS
Gave during the “last” campaign but haven’t given yet this year “Low Hanging Fruit”
Know Research Support ASHRAE Involved
Majority of Donors Easiest donation to get …..
and yet ……
On June 30th, 2011 … 6pm …
2,200 LYBUNTS$420,000
2010-11 Campaign:$2,168,000 raised from 7,000
donors ($90,000 more than last year!)
Why do LYBUNTS exist?
The reality of life 50%-75% of donors renew
We do have duplicates in the system
The single biggest reason ….
No one asks for their support
“Thank you so much for your support last year and I hope that the
Metro Chapter can count on you again this year!”
Don’t worry about it
They’re not going to ask a question you can’t answer Why should I give? What’s in it for me? How much do you want? Where should I send the check?
Even if they do … “You know, let me check on that and I’ll call you
back”

SYBUNTS
Gave in previous campaigns but haven’t given yet this year “Middle Fruit”
Know Research Supported ASHRAE in the past Involved or were involved
Associated with a big mystery ….
Why did they stop giving?
Lots of possible suspects Stopped being involved in the Chapter
INVITE them back! Reach out and make the personal connection
Upset Never underestimate the power of emotions
Find out what and/or Contact your RVC or Staff Out of the industry
Thank and let Staff know
The biggest & most likely culprit …
No one asked ASKThankRe-educate about ResearchAsk Specific amount at least Honor
Roll!
Non-Donors
Haven’t given in at least 5 yrs High Fruit
Lots of work but potentially big pay-offs
May not be active Chapter members May be younger or older & feel they
have less resources
Non-Donor First Steps Find the disconnect & work to solve it
Not involved with the chapter? Not informed about ASHRAE Research?
Or would other funds interest them more? Just never been asked?
ASK for their support Specific amount at least Honor Roll! Specific instructions Follow up
Check out Page 21
Too much, too little or just not doing it
The “Ask”
How much to Ask for
Minimum of “Honor Roll” level $100 for individuals, $150 for companies
Use the 10 Yr History report as reference

Staff’s Favorite Words
“Don’t worry, Patricia - I know this is a major donor and I know how important this is for the Chapter. I’ve been in contact with them, have a Plan B if I don’t hear from them by such&such date. I’ll take care of it.”
Staff’s Least Favorite Words“Yeah … I really don’t know what’s
going on with that donor. No one in the chapter has talked to them so … no clue about this year’s donation.”
