This study examined the ways of relationship management by university to the donors of School Affairs Fund in order to highlight the ways of fundraising easily accepted by donors, and the differences among those ways, and to propose strategies for improving the university/donor relationship. Semi-structural interviews were used in this study, and the interview outline was designed according to the previous literatures and the research objectives. Relationship management was divided into three stages--prior to fundraising, during fundraising, and post fundraising. The relationship management in the stages was defined as the relationship establishment prior to fundraising, the relationship management during fundraising, and relationship maintenance post fundraising, and a diagram was created to show the relationship management. The interview data was summarized to show the differences among schools and donors at the three stages and was presented using a Modified Cause and Effect Diagram with Additional Cards (M-CEDAC). The results were as follows. When establishing a relationship prior to fundraising, schools prefer face-to-face contact with donors by means of special activities. However, donors prefer other forms of contact, such as mail or email. Obviously, donors will choose to avoid the embarrassing situation of talking about contribution amounts. Another focus is the objects of establishing a relationship. Schools prefer to choose alumni, but donors prefer the orginations which can use the fund transparently and publicly. The relationship management during fundraising can be presented in two parts. One is the method of raising funds. Schools are inclined to hold alumni reunions, but donors like school celebrations. The other is the timing of fundraising. Schools prefer anniversary celebrations, but donors prefer to contribute when they have extra income. The relationship maintenance post fundraising can also be divided into two parts. One is the feedback mechanism. Schools prefer to give feedback through public acknowledgements during school celebrations; however, donors prefer to receive letters of thanks. The other is the method used to maintain the relationship. Schools prefer to have regular contact through activities; however, donors prefer indirect contact, such as email or mail instead of face-to-face contact. |
