How do you thank your donors? Your volunteers? Did you know that EVERY donor (yes, even those who gave $20) should get a handwritten thank you note? It’s been said that major donors make a small gift first to see how they are treated before committing to a larger gift. Are you going the extra mile to share how you’re using their donations and what an impact their gift has made? Thanking and recognizing donors is a year-round activity, not a once-a-year-only chore.

I try to send handwritten thank you notes to those I’ve worked with on an event, and I appreciate greatly when someone takes the time to send me a note, too!

If you haven’t tried it, you can use the Send Out Cards online service to share photos from your event and a personalized message.
