Frequently Asked Questions About MLR Scores
Most Likely to Raise (MLR) scores are ratings provided by an AI model that predicts which donors are most likely to make the highest-value gifts in the next 12 months. The MLR model uses client-supplied data and 100+ data points from the DonorSearch wealth and philanthropic screening.
RFM (Recency, Frequency, and Monetary) scores are based entirely on past giving, meaning they give you a good look at a donor’s historical trends. Most Likely to Raise uses wealth, philanthropic data, and client-supplied data to predict how donors might act in the future. The MLR model is both more comprehensive and more forward-looking than RFM scoring.
Other MLR models look at who is most likely to respond to a solicitation, making them not optimized toward bringing in revenue. DonorSearch’s MLR surfaces who could make the highest-value gifts in the next 12 months, showing you who to reach in order to bring in the donations that fund your mission.
