Session 4A
Practices in the Ethical and Responsible Collection of Race and Ethnicity, Gender Identity, and Pronoun Data
Mitra Keykhah & Kimberly Arndts
Wednesday, September 21
3:30 – 4:30 PM (MT)
We are delighted to announce a partnership between the Association of Donor Relations Professionals (ADRP), Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), Association of Professional Researchers for Advancement (APRA), Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and the Association of Advancement Services Professionals (AASP). This collaboration is developing a best practice for collecting, storing, and using data on race, ethnicity, gender identity, and pronouns in charitable fundraising. This collaboration is crucial to advancing our data into today's modern world. CASE, APRA, AFP, and AASP's partnership agreement began in February 2022, and the collaborative work to draft resource documents will occur in phases throughout 2022 and will be released in December 2022. Join us for this presentation to hear the progress and updates to date! The new guidelines will give advancement professionals guidance to ethically handle this key demographic data. Data help today's advancement teams understand and engage with diverse alumni and donors. But too often, processes and systems aren't optimized to collect this information in transparent, responsible ways. The work will also be underpinned by CASE's Global Reporting Standards, a common set of standards, guidelines, and definitions for reporting the results of educational philanthropy activities at schools, colleges, and universities across the globe. The Standards are part of AMAtlas, CASE's global resource for advancement research, metrics, and analytics.

Kimberly Arndts
Chief Advancement Officer - Alumni Engagement and Stewardship
Albion College
"Kim's first career was in retail management. Launching her second career and best life in donor relations, she had her first real ""ah-ha!"" moment at an ADRP conference when she heard Tom Ahern draw the parallel between customers and donors, and she realized she could do this! She views relationship-building as foundational in our industry, and recently completed her master's in philanthropy and development. She continues to be curious about how creating optimal donor experiences can move the needle.
Kim works at her alma mater, Albion College, where she serves as Chief Advancement Officer - Alumni Engagement and Stewardship, and oversees the annual fund, donor relations and stewardship, alumni engagement, and special events.
Co-chairing the research committee, she volunteers with ADRP, and in her spare time enjoys creating in the kitchen, and researching her family tree."
