Benchmarking is used to establish the most appropriate ASK AMOUNTS for naming opportunities.
Seen as an important Emerging Trend, development staff in campaigns large and small, are using
benchmarking in strategic planning efforts.

The competition for large gifts is intense. Major gift donors can and do donate to multiple charities.
Help them choose your organization by offering appropriate Ask Amounts for your naming opportunities.
