Another great clip from our podcast with Kristi Scott, where she talks about how GREAT email is at affording opportunities to brand new donors. When drafting your email: 1) Start with THANK YOU. 2) Welcome them into your organization and express HOW their donation will help you during your mission. 3) Highlight other opportunities for them to get involved! This could be becoming a recurring donor, or becoming a volunteer at one of your events. Something that allows these new passionate donors to take action while the iron is hot! But, this is just one idea. What's welcome email format works best for you? Comment below! #nonprofitmarketing #emailmarketing #nonprofitfundraising #nonprofithelp

It's a fact that more money = an easier time planning stellar events. That's why we help nonprofits raise more money with curated trips and experiences. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: 1) Choose a trip or a few 🏝️ 2) Auction it off at your event 🙋♀️ 3) Pay for the reserve price 💳 4) Keep all the net profits 🤑 So far we've helped nonprofits raise over $𝟮𝟯𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 since 2015. Our vacation auction items are PERFECT for live auctions, silent auctions, raffles, and even online auctions. Don't believe us? This is what Molly from 𝘈𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 had to say: "𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗚𝗔 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 – 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲! 𝗪𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 $𝟭𝟯,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀!"

"Look outside your organization for donors" is engrained in nonprofit professionals. But... many of these elusive mega donors are hard to connect with, and take your organization's valuable resources to get on board. Instead, dive deep and research those who are already donating to your nonprofit. These are 💎 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘴 just waiting to be discovered. And once you find them, they can be polished into donors capable of making a HUGE impact. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭: ✔️ Look for donors who are giving above-average donations. Even if "above average" to your org is only $100, these donors can sometimes surprise you with huge amounts if you create a deeper relationship with them. ✔️ Look for donors who have a significant cumulative lifetime giving history. We've heard of a donor who had been giving $75/month consecutively for years. However, after connecting with them more, they decided to give a gift of $250k! WOW! ✔️ Look for donors who didn't quite win the prize. During your auction events, be sure to write down the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place bidders and connect with them. Ask them out for lunch! Sometimes these donors are willing to give more because having the chance to tell THEIR story and aim for the impact THEY'D like to see is worth way more than an auction item is to them. But while you're using the tips above, please stop using terms like "big" and "small" to describe your donors. Doing so could cause others within your organization to look past "small" donors who could actually provide a huge impact. We understand fundraising is difficult. But sometimes the answers are undiscovered, quiet, just waiting for their chance to be heard. Do you have a story of a hidden gem donor you discovered within your organization?
