It's September, and we have Q4 on our minds. Each Wednesday this month, we're dropping our best EOY fundraising tips. Today's tip is on how to connect with large donors and make a big push for philanthropic giving. If you would like to specifically target donors who itemize their deductions and are donating to 501(c)(3) organizations in part for tax benefits, remind them it's their last chance to support your nonprofit in 2024. Share about the exciting sponsorships or matching opportunities you have lined up for the year ahead and ask if they would like to commit. Show your large donors you value their generosity by personalizing your appeal and referencing what they've already done for your cause. For example, you might call out a recent donation, matching gift, or event and explain how their engagement has made a difference. If they attended an event, include any photos of their team or logo at the event. Let’s make them feel valued for their incredible support! #endofyeargiving #nonprofit #nonprofitmarketing #fundraising #endofyearappeal #givingtuesday #holidaygiving

Some supporters are not able to donate at the moment, so involving them in other ways is key. Meanwhile, look out for people who have given more generously than they normally would... Explicitly acknowledging the extra generosity not only helps them feel great, it also proves very valuable to your fundraising income.

#NonprofitLeaders, a few stats for you 👇 -- Only 48.1% of donors continue giving after one year, on average -- 46% of donors stop giving due to a “failure to communicate” 🤯 -- 93% would consider giving again to a charity that provided a prompt, personal thank-you and shared the impact of their donation If you’re looking to build stronger donor relationships and raise more money for your mission, I highly recommend Allegiance Group + Pursuant's newest comprehensive guide ⚡️ “How Relationship Fundraising Works: The Keys to Enhancing the Donor Journey to Maximize Your Impact.” #BuildBetter

I could tell you who on my team would be hitting their PG goals over the next 3 months simply by looking at their expense report. Each one of my reps had a $500/mo 'budget' that they were expected to expense specifically to charities each month. Always to be positioned as, "If you respond to this email, regardless of your willingness to meet, I will make a donation to x charity I see you support." Leading Indicators: 1. Who asked if they could have more? - My top rep found that $250 to be the line at which most execs felt it was a fair trade for 30 minutes. She wasn't satisfied with just 2 meetings secured this way. 2. When was the donation made/expensed? - You see the top earner constantly using this method, yet you wait till the last 3 days of each month to run this play? Unsurprisingly that year the #1 deal source campaign was charitably led introductions...

🔍 Unlocking the Power of Specificity: Why Charities' Ask Matters! 🎯 💡 Curious to know why being specific with your ask is crucial? Keep scrolling to find out! 🔍 Imagine you're searching for buried treasure. Would you prefer a vague map or precise coordinates? The same goes for donation asks! 1️⃣ Clarity Counts: Specific asks help donors understand exactly where their contributions will go and how they'll make an impact. 2️⃣ Building Trust: When donors know precisely how their funds will be utilized, it fosters trust and confidence in your cause. 3️⃣ Inspiring Action: Specific asks are more compelling and motivating, encouraging donors to take immediate action and support your mission. 🌟 In a world where attention is precious and choices abound, being specific with your ask is the key to standing out, capturing hearts, and driving meaningful change 💖✨ 🚀 GiveCentral is there with you every step of the way in making donation and fundraising.

Fundraising Success Tip: Leverage Matching Gifts! At PlowShare, we've seen firsthand how impactful matching gifts can be in maximizing fundraising efforts. One of our clients implemented a matching gift program during their annual campaign and saw a significant increase in donations. Donors are often more motivated to give when they know their contributions will be doubled, making this strategy a powerful tool for any fundraising initiative. We want to hear from you! What successful fundraising strategies have you used? Or, what challenges have you faced while trying to boost your fundraising efforts?

Relationships are key to fundraising - some fundraisers report that it can take between 6 to 24 months to secure a major gift. Spending more time on building relationships is also more likely to result in a gift. That includes everything from social and fundraising events, tours of your facilities, and even coffee, lunch, or emails. Whether big or small, these touch points can all help establish trust and support of your mission and organization. What your favorite way of building relationships with donors? #fundraising #nonprofit #afp #afpsoco

Imagine if instead of having to call your donors to ask for gifts, they called you first because they just couldn't wait to give to your organization! What would make them do this? The same thing that leads anyone to do something in a similar fashion, PASSION!💖 Your donors want to help change the world too! When you present them with an offer that shows them how their money will specifically go to help a cause that they're passionate about, they'll be WAY more excited to give, versus if you just asked them to donate in a general and nonspecific way. Want to learn how to create donor offers that will help you connect your mission with your donor's heart? We're hosting a live workshop on September 19th at 2PM EST where we'll teach your our method and system for creating donor offers. Register for the workshop, "How to Create Meaningful and Effective Donor Offers," at the link in our bio. #donorrelations #donoroffers #fundraisingtips #nonprofitwork #fundraisers #nonprofitfundraiser #nonprofitprofessional
