If you’re part of a nonprofit, you know how important it is to inspire others with your mission. Video lets you do just that – in a powerful, personal way. We want to send a huge thank you to all of the non-profits we have had the opportunity to work with over the years, and highlight the benefits video can provide. Imagine telling your story through the eyes of those you’ve impacted, sharing the “why” behind your work, and giving viewers an inside look into your daily efforts. With video, supporters don’t just hear about your mission; they feel it. A well-crafted video can help you connect with new supporters, boost engagement, and even increase donations. It’s the next best thing to meeting people face-to-face. Plus, you can share videos on social media, your website, through email, and during events - giving your message a broader reach. Let’s bring your mission to life on screen and inspire change together! Get in touch: https://bit.ly/48ONgDo #NonprofitVideo #MissionInMotion #ImpactThroughStory

Hey you… yep, you, making all those year-end giving asks! Quick check-in… do you have a case for support in place? If so, amazing 👏! But here’s the real question: Does your case for support focus on the WHY, or is it all about the WHAT? I get it. I’ve been there… juggling crises, leading teams, running from meeting to meeting. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle that we lose touch with the bigger picture… the deeper reasons why we do this work. And when we disconnect from that, it becomes even harder to show the community why they should care about our work and feel inspired to take action. We can get stuck in this mode of always moving forward, always 10 steps ahead, without taking the time to slow down and reflect on the bigger WHY. Is this you? The truth is, it’s not just about us—our supporters are part of the story too. They are collaborators, not just donors, and their reasons for giving often come from shared values and collective goals. Why should donors care? Why would your community want to show up and support you? In our latest episode, Jena and I get into the good stuff: - How storytelling can bring your mission to life - A 3C Formula for crafting clear, compelling donor communication - How to tweak your message for different types of donors (because one size doesn’t fit all) - Plus, super quick and actionable tips to help you build a strong message on the go Give it a listen in time for year end season! 🎙️ YouTube: https://ow.ly/iNxb50TNAUB 🎙️ Apple: https://ow.ly/7iRN50TNAUA 🎙️ Spotify: https://ow.ly/yTNV50TNAU

You see how you can add images to your donation forms and receipts? Very demure, very mindful, and very effective.

Donors are the backbone of many initiatives, and expressing gratitude is essential to show how much their contributions mean. Here’s how you can effectively thank your donors: 1. Send a Personal Note A handwritten or heartfelt email goes a long way. Mention their specific contribution and the impact it made. 2. Showcase Their Impact Use storytelling to share how their support has made a difference. Highlight real outcomes or stories from people their donations have helped. 3. Celebrate Publicly Recognize donors on social media, newsletters, or annual reports. Let the world know how much they’ve contributed to your mission. 4. Offer a Token of Appreciation Send a small, meaningful gift like a thank-you card, branded merchandise, or a digital certificate. 5. Involve Them in the Journey Invite them to events, share updates, and make them feel like a part of your organization’s family. Expressing thanks isn’t just about acknowledging a donation—it’s about building relationships. Gratitude strengthens connections and ensures donors feel valued.
