Turn New Supporters Into Strong Supporters. First impressions are important. A donor’s first experience with your organization should be a good one as it can be the difference between turning them into a repeat supporter or someone who gives once and never again. . Studies show that donor retention is one of the best ways to boost your nonprofit’s bottom line because it’s easier to satisfy a supporter who has already given and who is already interested in your organization than to try to recruit

Thanking your donors is just as important, if not more important than fundraising. Yet many organizations spend a lot of time putting together a fundraising campaign and treat thanking their donors as an afterthought. We’re still in a time of uncertainty. Charitable giving has gone down over the last 20 years. The Vanishing American Donor While people were generous last year during the height of the pandemic, it’s hard to know how long that will last.

As someone who’s been working with and on monthly donor programs for almost 30 years now, the order of operations comes up a lot. It often creates a pause or a stop in the growth of monthly donors. Of course, we’re only human and, as fundraisers, we often tend to focus — and agonize — about things that are least important. But they’re easier. They make us feel we’re more in control.

Confusion frequently arises about how to structure and design microsites versus parent websites. A microsite is an individual webpage or group of webpages that are used to support, enhance, or supplement your primary, or parent, nonprofit website. The main difference between a microsite and a parent site is the microsite's focus on a single, narrow topic or theme compared to the broader scope of your parent site.

This means that when an Apple Mail user activates this new privacy setting, you may have no way of knowing if that user opened your emails. Additionally, information you may have been able to glean up to this point in time—a user’s location or other online activity—will be hidden from you.

Trout, like donors, spend their days filtering information. Fish are always alert, looking above and below the surface, watching what passes by in the river. In fact, I imagine that a trout's thought process looks like this: Not food. Not food. Not food. Hooray! That looks like food! So, when an angler casts a line - and the trout thinks that might be food - the angler has successfully attracted the fish's attention.
