Double the Donation’s Post

Do you find that your donors are often unaware of their own eligibility for a matching gift? 🧐 Before I founded Double the Donation, I worked for a company with a matching gift program. During that time, I made several donations to nonprofit organizations without realizing that my company would match those gifts. Of course then, I understand low donor awareness is the biggest barrier nonprofits face when trying to earn more matching gift revenue.🎁 Many of you might know my own personal experience inspired me to start Double the Donation and help nonprofits tap into those funds. Since our research indicates that only 19% of companies include more than one paragraph about matching gift programs in accessible employee materials, it's crucial to get the word out about matching gifts to your donors. So, I want to hear from you all... 💡What is your organization doing to increase matching gift awareness among your donors? Let me know in the comments below, so that I can provide recommendations and some of my own reactions to your ideas! ⬇️

Did you know that one of the top five reasons donors stop giving is a lack of recognition? That's why expressing gratitude to your nonprofit supporters for their generous donations is crucial! By showing appreciation, you reinforce their commitment to your cause and remind them of their impact! You can acknowledge your donor's contribution through a heartfelt thank-you letter, a simple phone call, or an impressive outdoor display. This is essential to ensure that they feel appreciated for their support! Research also shows that 13% of donors will not donate a second time if they are not thanked for their initial donation, while 41% of donors will give again after receiving personalized outreach on the impact of their support. So, it's vital to thank your donors and update them on the impact of their contributions to keep them engaged and invested in your cause! #FundraisingFriday

When you open a donation report and see a lower-than-desired average gift size, it may feel like getting socks instead of the shiny new gadget you wanted. 🧦 Disappointing, we know. But don't discount those small donations too quickly! A lower average gift size often means you're expanding your donor base - and that's something to celebrate! 🎉 More supporters equals more opportunity for continued growth. So when you're feeling discouraged by a lower average, remember: 📚 It's not the only metric!  If your average size dropped but overall revenue increased, you likely expanded your donor base successfully. 📈 Incremental increases are okay! Pushing for an average gift size that is too high could deter loyal donors. ✅ Highlight a reasonable "most popular" donation option on donation pages amount to inspire bigger gifts naturally. The size of each gift matters less than the collective impact donors make together. Celebrate those small but mighty contributions creating change - even if it means your average is more stocking stuffer than show-stopper! 🎁 #AverageGiftSize #NonprofitKPIs

We believe in the power of connection—connecting passionate individuals with causes that matter. The donor journey is at the heart of this belief. It's not just about a single donation; it's about building a relationship that grows over time. Imagine a path that starts the moment a donor first hears about your cause. This journey involves several steps: initial awareness, engagement, the decision to donate, and the ongoing support that follows. Each step is an opportunity to deepen the connection, making donors feel valued and part of the mission they're supporting. Why is this journey so important? Because engaged donors are more than contributors, they are advocates for your cause. They share your stories, expand your reach, and are more likely to support you in the long run. At Takk, we're dedicated to developing these journeys and creating meaningful interactions that lead to lasting relationships. We strive to make a big impact, one donor at a time. #donorjourney #nonprofitmarketing #donorengagement
