Abstract: The donor journey is the path a charitable constituent takes on their way to making a donation. Charities are moving towards more electronic communication and most appeals are now sent via email. The donor journey can be followed electronically, monitoring constituent and charity actions. Previous research has shown that it is possible to use past actions of a donor to predict their next gift within $25. We build on this research by adding new features that capture the time between actions, as well as new email features, including subject lines features in such a way as to isolate their effect on model accuracy. These additions show a small improvement in accuracy of recurrent neural network models for most charities, showing these features do indeed help deep learning methods understand the donor journey.
