Donor acknowledgments are an important part of any nonprofit fundraising campaign. These acknowledgments can take many forms, including thank-you letters, emails, phone calls, public acknowledgements, or personal visits. Regardless of the specific method used, the goal of donor acknowledgments is to show appreciation for the support of donors and to demonstrate the impact of their contributions.

A CRM? “We’re a nonprofit, not a for-profit. Why do we need a CRM?” you ask. Well, we’re here to tell you that you don’t have to be a corporation or even have a sales team to benefit from a CRM. Nonprofits are utilizing and enjoying the perks of CRM software now more than ever.

One of the best ways to increase donations is to show donors and prospective donors all of the great work that your nonprofit is doing. Today’s donors want to know where their time and money are going and demonstrating your nonprofit’s impact and influence is a great way to prove to your donors that their limited time and hard-earned money is going toward something great!

Sometimes your donors stick around, but sometimes you have to participate in the chase. Maintaining existing donors or re-engaging lapsed donors is more effective and more affordable for your nonprofit than soliciting brand-new donors.

Your nonprofit team members are the equivalent of superheroes. They are passionate, dedicated, generous and hard-working, wearing multiple hats and working long hours to help fulfill your organization’s mission. And while they may be doing the work for the good of your mission, that doesn’t mean that burnout isn’t a real problem. When your employees start to burn out, they may find less joy, satisfaction and motivation in the jobs they are doing.
