End of Year Appeals article and Upcoming FREE webinar
Good morning SMARTies,
Can you believe it's December already? With the end of year approaching, nonprofits start thinking about their end of year appeals. I found this article that may useful; the article lists with detail five bad habits nonprofit should avoid when writing their end-of-year appeals.
Also, there's a FREE upcoming webinar about reporting to donors from newsletters to annual reports. Donor reaserch has found that donors want to hear what you did with their first gift before they are likely to give a second time. Translation: you need to figure out ways to report back to your donors throughout the year. While annual reports are important they're just one piece of the communication puzzle.
