DonorDock’s Post

As we approach the year-end giving season, let's talk about one of your greatest assets—your board members! Board involvement can supercharge your fundraising efforts. These passionate individuals are not just your strategists. They're your advocates, cheerleaders, and bridge-builders to the broader community! Why not leverage their networks and influence this year for an even bigger impact? Imagine each board member reaching out within their personal and professional circles. It would multiply your reach while creating new waves of awareness and support! Involve your board through: ⭐ Pledge Drives - Challenge board members to a friendly competition - who can raise the most funds or secure the most donors? ⭐ Matching Gifts - Encourage them to sponsor a matching gift challenge, doubling donations received during a specific period. ⭐ Personal Stories - Ask them to share their personal connection to your cause, adding a heartfelt touch to your campaigns. When your board steps into these roles, they do more than contribute - they inspire.🌟 And remember, when your board is actively engaged, their passion becomes contagious, spreading commitment throughout your entire nonprofit! Are you ready to turn your board's potential into your nonprofit's superpower? Let’s make the end of this fundraising season one for the record books!

I have so many hats. Not the metaphorical, "I wear lots of hats" phrase common in nonprofits, but literal hats. Because for years, I put on and attended fundraising events. Now I rarely recommend an event for fundraising as I know the value of relationship-based fundraising. That said, many folks still ask about whether they should keep their events. Here is my answer: ask your donors. Do not ask all attendees of your event. Ask the humans that actually make the decisions to donate. Put together a simple 4 minute survey and send to the people who have shown care for your mission and capacity to give. They'll tell you what they would respond to, and you can balance that with the needs of your organization. Want help?

Are you focusing more on engagement than just asking for donations? If not, you might be missing out on building stronger relationships with your supporters! Regular updates and meaningful interactions make your donors feel valued and connected to your cause. Who doesn't want that? When donors see the impact of their contributions and feel part of a two-way conversation, they’re more likely to stay committed and spread the word, bringing in new supporters. This sense of community not only keeps your current donors engaged but also attracts fresh faces who are eager to join a cause they see as vibrant and interactive! Ready to take your nonprofit to the next level by building stronger relationships with your supporters?
