We began working with Plus Delta in 2012, just prior to the launch of a $3+ billion campaign, and they have been instrumental in helping us realize significant year-over-year increases in our fundraising results. More than 70 Duke gift officers have gone through the Plus Delta DFF program --enabling our fundraisers to develop a common discipline and approach to the art and science of fundraising.

“I am very pleased with how the Plus Delta program has advanced our frontline fundraising efforts at Rice in preparation for our next fundraising campaign. Moreover, the program has provided a foundational common language for managers to use in coaching their direct reports in donor interactions and ensuring our continued productivity and growth as a fundraising operation.”

Our Plus Delta program results have been remarkable. They’ve given us a disciplined fundraising approach and framework that ensures that prospects move through the pipeline more quickly and that conversations are more substantive. Having a shared language for the whole team has helped us manage and hold staff accountable. I have been in the advancement profession for 35 years and acquired new skills and language that have been invaluable.

"After the preliminary nine months working with Plus Delta, we recognized impressive quantitative results (over $18 million) that have continued beyond the initial cohort. We were also amazed by the qualitative success we saw, which surpassed our expectations."

"Since going through the DFF program, our fundraising team has more confidence in themselves and are focused on becoming philanthropic advisors to their donors as opposed to gift officers. The team is asking more questions and developing trusting relationships with our donors instead of just trying to close single gifts."

“There was a shift in conversation from what we knew (or thought we knew) to what we needed to learn about donor interests and priorities. This experience has revolutionized our giving program and united our team and we are performing at a whole different level.”

“As a collective, we have built a common language, which we practice both casually and in prospect management meetings, and we have embedded it in our systems to ensure that it is now the ‘Westminster Way’.”
