It maintains a continuous and bona fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public. The Organization has a direct mail program which provides an entry point for new donors. As it acquires new donors through this program, it cultivates them to insure successful retention and upgraded contributions. Specifically, the plan includes: " Approximately 10,000 mail pieces each year. " Use of endorsements by individuals who are credible and willing to endorse the Organization's work. It has strong existing relationships with endorsers. It will also request list exchanges with national think tanks and work with list brokers to obtain other appropriate prospect lists. " Quarterly cultivation hard-ask appeals using the internal mailing list. " A thank you plan for donors including thank you letters, calls, visits, etc. immediately upon receiving a contribution, donors will receive a thank you letter and receipt. " All new donors will be added to Wyoming Liberty Group's regular mailing list and email mailing lists. They will receive invitations to upcoming events as well as regular updates on the Organization's newest papers and briefs as they become available. " Tracking all direct mail information (lists, mail dates, expenses, revenue, etc.) will be recorded in the donor data base which has detailed reporting and tracking capabilities. The Organization will monitor how many donors have replied, how many have contributed, will calculate the cost effectiveness of the mailing and determine whether changes are necessary.
