How is an integrated approach to fundraising best described?

  1. Focusing on one campaign at a time

  2. Matching cases with constituencies and setting goals

  3. Standardizing donor communication across segments

  4. Reviewing past fundraising efforts

The correct answer is: Matching cases with constituencies and setting goals

An integrated approach to fundraising emphasizes the alignment of a nonprofit's mission and strategies with the diverse interests of its constituencies while also establishing clear goals. By matching specific cases for support with the right constituencies, organizations can cultivate more meaningful relationships and enhance engagement among their donors and supporters. This alignment ensures that fundraising initiatives are not only relevant but also tailored to resonate with particular groups, thus increasing the likelihood of achieving fundraising objectives. This method contrasts with focusing solely on individual campaigns or standardizing communication, as it recognizes the unique motivations and preferences of different donor segments. Additionally, while reviewing past fundraising efforts can be valuable for learning, it does not encapsulate the dynamic, strategic nature of an integrated approach, which prioritizes current engagement and alignment with stakeholder interests.
