Do your appeals have a “big number” problem? Do you pitch out an appeal remarking about the millions of people who experience a problem? You’re making a mistake — here’s why. People have a hard time relating to big numbers. If you send an appeal that tells a story of 800 million people going to bed hungry tonight, the average donor doesn't believe his $50 is going to make a difference. What will $50 do to make a dent in this large of a problem? Instead, tell a story of one person the reader could help. The story helps the reader connect to someone he can see himself helping with his $50 donation. Use the big numbers to reinforce the donation decision. #fundraising

Friction is great for physics but terrible for fundraising… Specifically on your donation pages… Keeping the donation form simple is crucial, as too much friction will cause donors to leave. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐁 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Test removing unnecessary form fields on your donation page. They may be adding friction to the giving process and creating confusion. One organization did just that and removed unnecessary steps, including: - A comment field - An option to cover the credit card processing fee - An option to give a gift on behalf of someone The result: A 107% increase in donations! So, as you set up your donation page, ask yourself: “Is that field really necessary?” If it’s not essential to complete the transaction, you probably don’t need it. #Nonprofit #OnlineFundraising #ABTesting #NextAfter

#themoreyouknow #fundraisers #nonprofits The average online donation is over $50 nationally. Many organizations see online average gifts in the $100 - $250 range. S o I can’t help but shake my head in confusion every time I see a charity with a $10 first ask on an online donation form. If you think that you’re going to get hundreds of thousands of people to each give you $10 because you asked them for a low dollar gift, you’re wrong. You do not have hundreds of thousands of people searching for you site just to give you money every year. The math doesn’t lie. So don’t waste your opportunity to engage the few precious visitors you do get every day with a $10 ask. Please start your gift array at least at $50. Heck. Maybe even $75 or $100!

Effective mailing practices are essential for nonprofit annual appeals, and a strong call to action (CTA) is crucial. This is your moment to show how each contribution makes a difference. For example, “With your donation of $100, you can feed a family of four for a month” creates a powerful connection.  Be specific, clear, and urgent in your ask. Make your supporters feel like vital partners in your mission. Every choice they make has a significant impact, and their involvement directly supports the cause. A strong call-to-action can make all the difference in fundraising. What CTA have you received from another organization that got you to donate? #WeluInc #StrongCTA #NonprofitSupport #CommunityLove
