Another great clip from our podcast with Kristi Scott, where she talks about how GREAT email is at affording opportunities to brand new donors. When drafting your email: 1) Start with THANK YOU. 2) Welcome them into your organization and express HOW their donation will help you during your mission. 3) Highlight other opportunities for them to get involved! This could be becoming a recurring donor, or becoming a volunteer at one of your events. Something that allows these new passionate donors to take action while the iron is hot! But, this is just one idea. What's welcome email format works best for you? Comment below! #nonprofitmarketing #emailmarketing #nonprofitfundraising #nonprofithelp

This week on Fix Your Fundraising, we're diving into the top 3 best ways to say "Thank You" to your donors. 🎉 Expressing gratitude is crucial for building strong, lasting relationships with your supporters. Here are three powerful ways to show your appreciation: Personalize Your Thank You Messages 💌 Send personalized thank you emails or letters. Use their names and reference their specific contributions. Let them know how their donation is making a real impact. Share Impact Stories 📖 Show your donors how their support is changing lives. Share stories of the individuals or communities who have benefited from their generosity. Use photos, videos, and testimonials to bring these stories to life. Provide Regular Updates 📬 Keep your donors informed about the progress of your campaigns and projects. Regular updates build trust and reinforce their connection to your mission. Saying thank you isn’t just about being polite; it’s about making your donors feel valued and appreciated.

Dive into the power of nonprofit nurture emails with us! These emails are like seeds you plant after someone joins your mailing list or shows interest in your cause. Instead of immediate donation requests, they focus on: 🏡 Welcoming: This is where you welcome them to your community and express gratitude for their interest in your cause. 🌿 Educating: With these you share insights into your mission, your work, and the impact they can make. 💬 Engaging: Show supporters that you value their input, invite them to events, and encourage them to join you on social media. 🌟 Inspiring: Fill these emails with stories of success and testimonials, showcasing the impact of their support. 🤝 Building Trust: Transparency is key in your relationships with supporters. Share updates on projects and finances, inviting them to peek behind the scenes. By nurturing these connections, you're not just seeking support; you're fostering meaningful relationships. And when the time is right, these nurtured individuals are more likely to donate because they understand and trust your nonprofit. 🌱💙 #NurtureEmails #BuildingRelationships #Fundraising #Nonprofit #NonprofitLeadership

Investment professional who is passionate about helping people and their families! I've been providing unbiased advice and guidance for over 20 years.
I found the LinkedIn post from Ephraim Gopin, MBA fascinating regarding how charities and #nonprofits ask for donations. With the Canada Post strike no mail from charities is getting through and the requests are coming via email and social media posts. Many are asking for money saying they are short of their goals (which is true for most organizations as giving is down and need is up). As Ephraim points out, "Lead with IMPACT and how their donation will make the world a better place. Do that and you won't just hit your goals but you'll surpass them." Your donations can have impact and solve a problem. - For $2.70 Hope Mission can provide a complete Christmas dinner. - For $50 Christmas Bureau of Edmonton Adopt-A-Teen program gives teens in need joy during the season. - For every $200 Little Warriors receives a sexually abused child receives one trauma therapy session (among many) that gives healing and hope for a brighter future. I encourage you to give to an organization that means a lot to you and is making an impact in someone's life. These three organizations mean a lot to me 🧡 #givingback #makingadifference
We are once again in the "grab all the cash" time of year where #nonprofits are asking and asking and asking. As I do each year, here is a friendly reminder to all of you who will be sending fundraising campaign emails: NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR INTERNAL FUNDRAISING GOAL! See the image below? I got that in an email a few days ago. Being short of their goal is a YOU problem, not a DONOR problem. Don't make the email subscriber feel bad that you're not reaching some arbitrary goal number you picked out of a hat two weeks ago. That does not build relationships. It does the opposite. Lead with IMPACT and how their donation will make the world a better place. Do that and you won't just hit your goals but you'll surpass them. For the love of everything good in our sector, please don't lead with your internal fundraising (and/or marketing) goal. It's ok to mention it but lead with impact and change. That's how you connect and engage your audience and build relationships with them. P.S. I'm busy reviewing a whole mess of year-end emails for a bunch of nonprofits. You can do way better than the below!

Hey fam! 👋🏾 This week’s tip is all about making things simple: Tip of the Week: Make It Easy for People to Donate! 💡✨ Donors want to support your cause, but if the process is too much of a hassle, they’ll move on. Let’s make it easy: ✅ Keep it simple: Nobody has time for a long, drawn-out form. Ask for what you need and leave the rest optional. ✅ Offer options: Credit card, PayPal, Venmo—people like choices, so give them options. ✅ Be everywhere: Make that Donate Now button impossible to miss. Add it to your website, email campaigns, and even your social media bios. When you make donating easy, you’re not just removing barriers—you’re showing donors that you respect their time and generosity. 💛 #NonprofitTips #FundraisingSimplified #SupportYourCause #DonorLove #NonprofitLife #NonprofitSuccess
