Custom properties in HubSpot are the heart of your donor data.
They are the foundation for everything else you do with HubSpot, and they allow you to create a highly customized experience for each person who gives to your organization.
💡Custom properties are available in all HubSpot products and plans, from Free to Enterprise.
Custom properties let you define any type of information that is important to your organization.
It could be anything from contact information (phone number, email address) to giving history (amounts given, frequency of giving). You can also use them to track any other information that is relevant to your organization (like employment status or employer).
These properties are powerful because they don't just help you gather donor data: they also make it easy for you to use this data in every aspect of your marketing campaigns.

Unmatched, intelligent segmentation is one of HubSpot's secret weapons.
💡Lists are available in all HubSpot products and plans, from Free to Enterprise.
Not only are there a wide variety of pre-set segments to choose from, but you can also go as deep as needed in customizing and conditioning your lists. Once you’ve established clear criteria for each of your segments and created lists, you can use them to nurture contacts with email, social media, and other marketing channels.
And it’s not just the segmentation that makes it easy for you to nurture your donors—it’s how well HubSpot is designed to perform hyper-targeted outreach.
HubSpot lets you:
Using automation, you can create a highly personalized experience for each segment, because each donor is served content offers that are most relevant to them.

Many nonprofits have a hard time keeping up with their donor relationships, and as a result, their donor retention rates can dip.
Sound like a dilemma you’re facing?
You can solve this by using HubSpot to automate and streamline your outreach efforts.
Once you've segmented your leads into lists you can use workflows to automate personalized communication with donors based on the actions they take.
💡Workflows available in Marketing Hub Professional/Enterprise, Sales Hub Professional/Enterprise, Service Hub Professional/Enterprise, and Operations Hub Professional/Enterprise.
Here's an example of a workflow that could be used by a nonprofit organization:

Perfecting the art of donor engagement means understanding the channels your donors hang out in and catering your communications strategy to fit accordingly. It gives your donors a holistic experience that feels personalized and, most importantly — makes it easy for them to participate.

One of the most clever tools you can use within HubSpot is the Smart CTA.
💡Smart CTAs can be created within Marketing Hub Professional/Enterprise and CMS Hub Professional/Enterprise
As the name suggests, a smart CTA is a call-to-action that can be customized with different copy and design depending on who's viewing it.
So, instead of showing the same CTA to everyone that goes to your site, you can display different CTAs to different users based on whatever criteria you choose.
For example, if you have multiple donation pages on your website (and it's best if you should!) then you can tailor your CTAs specifically for each page so that each visitor sees what they need at the right time.
Or you could use Smart CTAs to show users a discount code when they make a purchase. Or maybe you want to offer a VIP membership or special event registration to users who sign up for an email list.
The possibilities are endless! The only limit is your imagination.

Growing nonprofits like yours don’t always need to go big or go home.
In the face of an economic recession, purchasing user licenses for another expensive piece of software + hiring more people to run it might not sound like a great idea.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need to get every bell and whistle in the HubSpot ecosystem. Effective donor management can start with a single HubSpot Hub — the Marketing Hub — and grow from there.🌱
Marketing Hub lets you engage your donors however you want at the moment they need it most, within your own branded environment. So you can spend less time on tedious outreach exercises and more time focused on converting new donors and retaining your current supporters.
From Marketing Hub Free to Pro, check out the table below! We’re giving you a head start by breaking down the main features into bite-sized chunks.

📌 A few important points:
When you have multiple Hubs, it doesn't just mean that you have more opportunities to tell your organization's story.
It also means that you have more chances to connect with your potential audience and current supporters in creative and meaningful ways. And on top of that, you’ll be able to empower your teams by eliminating bottlenecks in critical activities like grant management and revenue reporting. Best of all, you’ll all be working under one roof rather than a cobbled-together tech stack (think MailChimp + Salsa + your grant management software).
When you’re all in HubSpot, everyone sees what everyone else is doing and updates are seamless and never clunky.

Overall, the message here is quite simple: the relationship you have with your donor community is an important one, and it deserves to be maintained.
If your nonprofit doesn't currently invest in building more meaningful, connected experiences around your donors, there's no better time than now to start.
After all, it's the support of your community that will keep your organization going strong for years to come. In the end, showing your donors that you value them as unique individuals can lead to long-lasting relationships based on mutual trust and respect.
With HubSpot’s powerful customizable data and targeting tools, you can show your donors that you see them as valuable individual supporters, thank them for their unique contributions, and establish bonds that last a lifetime.
And remember - you don't need to do it all alone!
