Get Ready for “Thankuary”: How to Thank Donors So They Really Feel Thanked: Donor Love Techniques that Work
Live

If You Register and Cannot Attend, You Will Get the Webinar Recording, Slides and Bonus Materials 

We’re approaching the busiest fundraising time of the year. Just after that comes the biggest THANKING time of the year. When you thank your donors -- and thank them well -- you raise a lot more money throughout the rest of the year. That’s because successful fundraising is about building relationships. Donors who are properly thanked stay with you longer, are more likely to increase their giving, and more likely to tell others about you.

Discover the proven, practical steps to a thanking program that keeps your donors connected and satisfied, based on decades of experience and testing.

During This Nonprofit Webinar, You Will Learn:

Why thanking your donors -- and doing it well -- makes all the difference

  • How the donor retention crisis is sinking many nonprofits, and how you can easily beat the trend.
  • Your mother was right: “Thank you” is a magic phrase
  • Fundraising is relationship building

Acknowledging: The front line of great thanking

  • How to acknowledge online giving
  • How to acknowledge through the mail: all the things you must do

The surprising art of thanking donors so they’re eager to give again

  • By phone
  • Online
  • Donor Milestones (this is mind-blowing!)
  • Straight talk about asking while thanking
  • Through the mail

Building the relationship beyond the thank-you: reporting back

  • Newsletters
  • Donor care letters
  • Other thrilling ways of telling your donors they’re awesome
