True or false? If you follow your passion, you will never work a day in your life. According to best-selling author and speaker Nataly Kogan , this is a myth.

I like to emphasize the importance of keeping in touch with your donors throughout the year. I hope that’s a priority for you, too. Your donors want to hear from you and don’t just want to be blasted with fundraising appeals. The good news is that better donor communication (thank yous and updates) can help you raise more money. Ideally, you should communicate with your donors at least once or twice a month throughout the year.

In fact, some folks in our industry seem to equate a direct mail fundraising appeal with a slap in the face by a very ripe kipper: rude, painful, odoriferous, and just plain uncalled-for. This is a faulty and insidious assumption. Worse yet, it's self-fulfilling.
