“This webinar totally changed my perspective on thanking donors. I'm excited to circle back with my team about what I learned and start mapping out ways we can change out strategy.”
Alexandra Kirchner, Chicago HOPES for Kids
“It was great having many of my notions of what thank yous should be challenged with great examples of better ways!”
Anne Bacon, IMPACT Community Action Partnership
“This was one of the best webinars I've taken on CharityHowTo! The presenter is very witty, engaging, and the materials are great! I took this with my supervisor, and we were both blown away! She has been in fundraising for decades, while I've only been in the sector for eight months. No matter your level of expertise, Scriver's class teaches relationship building techniques and ideas that everyone can benefit from. - Thank You!”
Angela Gelso, The Shield Institute
“I write many thank you's but have had no coaching on how to effectively do them. Simon's webinar was eye-opening and very useful. I will never look at writing thank you's again in the same way. Thank you!”
Monica Scheuer, Midwest Food Bank
“This webinar was super helpful! It provided many good ideas on how to more thoughtfully thank your donors with just a letter.”
Shaun Collin, The Delores Project

Donald Hickman, Initiative Foundation
“This webinar beautifully brought the topic of sending a thank-you back to the basics of human interaction and good manners, but in very practical and tangible ways that feel realistic for my organization.”
Elizabeth Fredericks, National Spine Health Foundation
“I have recently been put in charge of our non-profits thank you letters, which has been a daunting and challenging task for me. I am now really excited to take control of our fundraising presence to see how my impact from what I have learned today can help grow our organization!”
Amy Puschinsky, Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center
“This is the first webinar I've watched I want to watch again. So much info and tips I want to go back and reabsorb!”
Laurel Flanagan, Fayetteville Free Library
“I Thought the 'Thank You' letters I had composed were already pretty good. I really didn't think I could learn anything new from this webinar. WRONG! I learned what I was doing right, what I was doing wrong and how I could improve it. Very insightful. Gave me lots of ideas on how to improve my 'Thank you' letters.”
Anita Cisneros, Fidos for Freedom
“Thank you for presenting the Thank You Letter webinar by Simon. The information presented was well organized, detailed and educational. I learned a lot and Simon kept the presentation moving and offered lots of real life examples which were so helpful. Thank you very much for offering this webinar.”
Pamela Martis
“Great webinar. It will help me to improve my current thank you letter to donors. I never thought about some of the things that Simon taught us. I will immediately put what I learn to work.”
Marcela Ruiz, Creighton Community Foundation
“Simon has a gift for speaking for an hour and a half straight without losing his audience's attention. Also, the content was great.”
Hannah Rounds, Lowell Observatory
“Great webinar - probably the most enjoyable one I've attended in a long time. The information was very informative and I appreciate the materials I can refer to at a later time. Truthfully, if it wasn't for the presenter Simon Scriver, I might not have been as interested. He is obviously passionate about thank you letters (or maybe his job in general!) and it was clear during the presentation - very upbeat, personable, funny, and engaging!”
Mary Chase, Franklin Pierce University
