What is the Constituent Engagement Score Report

The Constituent Engagement Score Report measures how involved each person is with your organization and boils it down to a single number from 0 to 100. Rather than looking at donors, volunteers, members, and event guests in separate reports, it puts all of that activity side by side.

The six dimensions

Each dimension is scored out of 100 on its own, then weighted to produce the overall score:

  • Volunteering (20%): hours logged, task completion, active volunteer status.
  • Events (20%): events attended, attendance rate, committee participation.
  • Email (15%): open rate and click rate, with a penalty for heavy bouncing.
  • Membership (15%): active member status, how long they have been a member, visits.
  • Giving (25%): how often they give, how recently, and how much.
  • Leadership (5%): board positions and committee roles.

Giving carries the most weight, so a devoted volunteer who has never given will still score lower than you might expect. That is worth knowing before you read too much into a single number.

The engagement levels

  • Highly Engaged (70 and up): your champions, active across several areas.
  • Moderately Engaged (40 to 69): solid supporters with room to grow.
  • Lightly Engaged (15 to 39): a real but casual connection.
  • Minimally Engaged (above 0, under 15): on the edges, and the group most at risk of drifting away.

There is a fifth level, Not Engaged, for a score of exactly zero. You will not see those people in the results: the report only returns constituents with a score above 0. So if someone you expected is missing entirely, a zero score is the likely reason.

What it is good for

  • Seeing your most engaged supporters as whole people rather than one record type at a time.
  • Spotting the volunteer or event regular who has never been asked for a gift.
  • Catching supporters whose involvement is fading while you can still do something about it.
  • Building a segment for a targeted appeal, straight into a Mail Room list.
