Willamette Week's Give!Guide的动态

Planned giving is more than a donation; it's a legacy and an extraordinarily important part of the philanthropic journey for donors and fundraisers alike. It's about how a donor's thoughtful and deliberate donation can create a lasting impact and help to ensure an organization thrives for generations to come. As a fundraiser, when transitioning to this work from other donor engagements, you must take great care and tact to leverage education, personalized communication, and a deep understanding of the donor's intentions. Approach donors with empathy, transparency, and a focus on impact, and be sure to take the time to deeply understand their motivations so you can create personalized giving opportunities that showcase the potential for their gifts' real-life impact for your organization and the greater community overall. #MooreFundraisingSolutions #PlannedGiving #Nonprofit

10 ways to supercharge your year-end fundraising, Day 3 Let's perform an experiment: Go to your website home page and click your donation navigation link. How many clicks does it take to get to that donation form? Did you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to get to the form? And how easy was it to locate the link on the home page? Does it say “Donate” or something less clear? Nonprofits love to obscure how to become donor by hiding their buttons on the home page, using unclear words like “get involved” or “contribute”, or making donors click multiple times before they get to the form. Each time someone has to click again, you risk the chance of losing them because they get frustrated that it’s so difficult. Make it easy for them. Put a brighly colored button that says “donate” in the top right corner of your website and direct it right to the form. Want more? Subscribe to our free monthly newsletter. https://lnkd.in/gi5BdfZM

Since founding Double the Donation, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the transformative power of matching gifts. By simply leveraging corporate matching programs, nonprofits have the potential to double their funding without asking donors to reach back into their pockets. It’s a win-win that magnifies the impact of each donation, turning every dollar donated into two (or more) towards making a real difference. For my friends and connections in the nonprofit sector, how could continued doubled funding through matching gifts propel your mission forward? Imagine the projects that could be launched, the additional communities that could be served, and the greater impact that could be achieved with this increased financial support. I invite you to share your thoughts here: What transformative changes could your organization accomplish with increased funding? Whether it's expanding existing programs, launching new initiatives, or perhaps reaching underserved populations, I’d love to hear how matching gifts have and can continue to elevate the incredible work you’re already doing. Matching gifts offer an untapped reservoir of potential for many nonprofits. Let’s explore together how maximizing these opportunities can bring us closer to achieving our missions and amplifying our impact. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
