When\u2019s the last time you received a great thank you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I once volunteered to help raise some extra funds for our nonprofit. The event lasted an entire Saturday after an already busy week. On Monday, I walked into my office to see a handwritten thank you note from our CEO on my desk. This experience demonstrated just one of many donor recognition examples. It didn\u2019t just acknowledge my time; it made me feel great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d argue that nothing beats a genuine donor thank you. Yet, as fundraisers, we all too often forget to spend the time to make our thank yous count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, nonprofit employees are extremely busy. We\u2019re balancing a huge workload and limited resources. Oftentimes, it\u2019s hard to find the time to give donors a genuine thank you. There\u2019s just too much to do in a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if anything, a donor thank you should be at the top of your to-do list because a gesture of gratitude goes a long way in proving to your donor how important they are to your nonprofit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
