A great tip to get close to those who make it possible for us to exist.
Relatively easy to execute too.
I’m glad you found the advice useful, Leo! I find surveying is definitely the easiest and most useful thing non-profits can do to improve fundraising results and donor relations.
Thanks Vanessa and Chris!
The best tip I have is to think about the gift as the beginning, not the end. Treat folks as if they gave you a personal gift. Thank them promptly. Let them know how much the gift meant to you. Tell them you’d love to get together soon. Build a genuine relationship. Treat them like a valued friend or member of your family. Because that’s who they are — or at least who you want them to become.
Thanks for sharing your advice and the resource, Vanessa!
