Ah, summer…time to thank your donors « Uncategorized

Summer in Winnipeg means many people go to the lake, go camping or otherwise take time to enjoy our beautiful city and province.

It’s also a great time to thank donors.

You and your board members can tell donors how much they’re appreciated in a number of ways:

Take a stack of note cards to the lake and write a few every day. Handwritten cards are personal and thoughtful.
Invite donors for a tour to see how they are making a difference in the world.
Make thank you calls.
Ask if you can visit a donor if she’s not able to come for a tour.
Send a video with clients or participants saying thank you for making a difference in their lives.

Above all, be sincere and authentic, and give them concrete examples of how they are changing lives. They will remember that you made them feel good.
