How much do you know about your nonprofit’s supporters? Chances are, you already have a lot of information about your donors and are sitting on a treasure trove of useful data. If you have a well-organized donor database, you should be able to access a supporter’s contact information, engagement history, and other details with just a few clicks.
Peer-to-peer events are a fun way to raise money and build relationships with your organization’s most dedicated supporters. But they’re also a ton of work! The logistics involved in even small peer-to-peer events can be staggering. Designing your event is no less important than anything else; how can you get the biggest impact while balancing design with everything else?
The answer: you focus most of your attention on 3 elements that biggest impression. Smaller design pieces can be handled later or outsourced to someone else — either way, you’ll know that the most important pieces are already handled and can attend to other details.
Donation receipts tend to be pretty boring. They generally run something like this:
Dear Abby,
Thank you for your donation of $25 to our organization. Below, please find the details of your transaction for your records.
Snore.
Your donation receipts don’t have to be boring! Adding a few elements to your donation receipt will make a great impression on your donors and increase the likelihood that they donate again in the future.
Here are some pieces to add to your donation receipt to inspire (and not bore!) your donors.
You work so hard to find new donors. You write appeals, you send emails, you schedule social posts, you build your lists, you do all the right things to find and inspire . But are your potential donors turned off by your lackluster online donation form?
Every year, new fundraising trends grow and develop online.
Technology changes rapidly, and nonprofits can capitalize on new developments to better reach their donors. After all, your donors are online.
The world is changing rapidly, and the way donors support their favorite charities is changing, too. While some donors still like to send in checks to their favorite nonprofits, many are turning to more technologically advanced ways to give to charitable organizations.
