Love Your Donors!

The only way you can love your donors is to know who they are. Look back over 2014 and identify who gave a gift to your organization. Once you have identified them, thank them. Thank them right now! Pick up the phone, write them a note, stop by their office, and shake their hand. Do whatever it takes to let them know they made a difference in the word by making a donation to your cause.

Valentines day is almost here. This is a perfect time of year to tell your donors that you love them. Send them a Valentine’s card or email.
