The New Formula: R + M = IR2
Through this transformation, the United Way changed aspects of its culture, improved insight into this constituent segment and created a prioritization within the organization that ensures this strategy is successful.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking as you read this. So let's go ahead and get the unspoken question on the table: "That's great — but are they making any more money?" Well, the story just gets better and better. Through a fully integrated approach to engaging women in specific areas across the country and cultivating those relationships, United Way has not just moved one marble but moved three marbles. Revenue from these individuals has increased, which is always a key indicator of improvement. Second area of improvement — the organization has improved its "trust" metric among this constituency. Third area of improvement — it has been able to document results on the mission side of its improved engagement in this area. It has seen marked improvement in communities where the engagement strategies are strongest in social reading levels.
