Simple strategies for finding new donors

Episode #278

Do you want more donors?

In this week’s episode, Susan Howlett walks you through many different ways to find donors.  So many ways in fact, you may want to grab a pen and paper so you can jot them all down.

Many of these strategies are under utilized or not used at all. One in particular may seem fruitless when you first hear it.  However, after you hear Susan’s story about undocumented immigrants, you’ll become a believer.

This week’s video is pure donor getting gold. (How’s that for a hype-y statement?) Seriously, this video is full of ideas for you.

If you have any stories or advice around getting donors, please share it with everyone else. Leave a comment under the video.  Thanks.

And if you want to learn how to tell stories that help you bring in new donors, then check out the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference. To learn more, click here.

    Excellent ideas! And I love that she delineates between friends and family and friend and family with a connection to the cause.

    Thank You. Great Ideas. I especially like the idea of telling clients that our help was made possible by donations…no envelop, no ask.

    Thanks, this was a powerful presentation. Excellent, well thought out avenues to reach many people already aware & approachable. Asking with kindness, dignity & respect (removing the box of barriers) is golden.
