RelationshipYour perception of how closely-affiliated this constituent is with your organization.

TimingHow good the timing might be to solicit a gift.

Giving History

A measurement of what the constituent has demonstrated in the past to your organization. Multiple gifts or a very large one-time gift would normally rank someone higher on this value.
