Appreciating your donors with meaningful feedback may lead to lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with your supporters. Share the before and after stories of your project with donors, with pictures whenever possible. Sharing pictures on social media will create a lasting impact.
On the anniversary of the first gift from a donor, send them a customized anniversary card to celebrate them. This demonstrates loyalty and shows that your organization is paying attention to the existing relationship.
Invite the donor to visit and see what you are doing with their support. This is a personal touch that might endear donors to your organization more. Introduce them to the people working day to day, made possible by the donor support. An office tour might lead to connections your organization was not expecting.
