Our solutions

Full Program Management

With nearly 20 years experience as a full-service provider, IPM offers a unique combination of consulting, creative and production. Our collaborative, team approach helps you grow annual giving, increase donor engagement and retention, gain efficiencies, and allow staff to focus on high-ROI activities like pipeline development, top-tier donor moves management, events, and stewardship.

Integrated Campaigns

Our professional, U.S.-based phone solutions connect you directly with donors. IPM agents serve as trusted ambassadors — whether calling out or fielding inbound support. We also offer live town halls to engage donors and prospects with effective, highly interactive experiences that provide updates on your work, build stronger relationships, and allow supporters to contribute in a new way.

Telefundraising & Town Halls

Whether you need to attract new donors or move your most loyal supporters up the giving pipeline, we provide award-winning multichannel campaigns for nonprofits. Our integrated approach leverages engagement across direct mail, digital, and phones in any combination to optimize response, maximize average gift, and boost fundraising program ROI.

Relational Mapping

With IPM’s custom relational mapping solution, we identify, categorize, and map the most influential people around your lead prospects and donors. We then help you deliver critical information to the influencers and trusted individuals in their personal and professional networks, which can sway decision-making for crucial high-level policy/advocacy, major gift, and capital campaign asks.

Engagement Modeling

When you need to know which donor segments are worth reaching out to — whether by direct mail or any other contact method — IPM’s engagement modeling can help you quickly and reliably identify which donors are most likely to give. Unlike subscription-based products, our unique tool is a budget-friendly, one-time purchase that provides a flexible solution clients can use to augment wealth append data and customize for their individual giving fundraising needs.

Donor Risk Assessments

High-profile gifts that fail to materialize are not just a financial loss; they represent a reputational risk for nonprofits and fundraisers at the highest level. IPM’s donor risk assessments provide the peace of mind that comes from going beyond traditional prospect and donor research, and scoring high net-worth (HNW) donors across multiple dimensions to assess potential risk of naming opportunities and other offers that are often made in the course of major/capital gift solicitations.

About us

IPM provides full capabilities in creative and design, direct mail, digital outreach, and telefundraising. We’ve worked with a wide range of nonprofits — from national healthcare and engineering associations to regional library cooperatives, arts organizations, hospitals, museums, and a diverse roster of clients that champion social issues, education, the environment, and more. Each solution we provide is customized based on your unique needs, budget, challenges and opportunities.
