This weekend, stepping away from my daily responsibilities again, I had the privilege of #volunteering at a walk for cancer patients, where individuals with cancer or in remission could spend time with rescue dogs ???? Reflecting on my journey with chemotherapy, I am truly grateful for the support from friends, family, and everyone at GETT. Their gestures range from a 19-hour-long playlist filled with songs they added, to thoughtful gifts, home-made food and over 100 heartwarming postcards. Someone even gifted me A BIKE, which motivated me to cycle a total of 164K between chemo treatments. Additionally, I managed to walk a total of 364K. Looking back, it seems impossible! But in a way, I'm just proof that an unbreakable support system results in a healthy mind and a strong will - drawing energy from places you didn't know existed. ?? This is my story, but the truth is.... ??? ...that many patients are not comfortable sharing their story with potential supporters. Many don't have family nearby, some have few friends, and others have temporarily moved to Houston to receive the best treatment but don't have the means to bring their children and pets. Whatever we need, let’s not underestimate the impact of our networks. Today, I am reminded of the significance of empathy, including in the workplace. At GETT, we strive to create an environment where support & solidarity extend beyond our roles, influencing not only how we interact within our team but also how we engage with the broader community. ???? Whether it’s through a simple act of kindness or a shared moment of understanding, we have the power to make a difference in the lives of those around us. #corporatesocialresponsibility #raisingawareness

Why do so many nonprofit organizations still cling to donor honor rolls as a way to recognize donors for their giving? At the DRG Group, we are firmly in the “no honor roll camp” and have a litany of resources to support that reasoning. But flip through an annual report or concert program and you’re all but certain to find a list of the previous year’s donors, organized by donation amount and usually tied to a giving society that exists on a beautifully designed (and thoughtfully tucked away) page on the organization’s website. If we took the time and effort that goes into producing monstrously ineffective honor rolls, and pooled those resources instead into a piece on the impact of a gift, the story behind the gift, and the story behind the donor, we would be much more effective in recognizing the people behind the gift. Those people and their stories are what truly make philanthropy possible. There are so many more meaningful ways to recognize your donors. Here are just a 5 ideas to get you started: ?? Handwritten messages -from beneficiaries Thank you notes are great, but stories of impact are better. Don’t just ask students to write a thank you note—ask them to share the impact the donor’s gift has made on their life. Empower them to share their story! ?????? Face-to-face interaction with beneficiaries Donors want to meet the people, animals, or communities that benefit from their philanthropy. When possible, create opportunities for donors and beneficiaries to connect. These can be virtual or in-person interactions—but steer clear of interactions that may be outside of the beneficiary’s comfort zone (i.e., scholarship dinners). ?? Turn the tables Instead of creating a list of donors, craft a list of beneficiaries and share their stories with your donors. This approach brings your donors’ gifts to life! Sort these stories by program or area so donors can see the impact they made in the places they care about most. ?? Send personalized videos Handwritten messages are still Queen in the world of showing gratitude—but add a personalized video and the donor experience becomes that much better. ThankView is a simple and inexpensive way to send personalized videos to every donor that allows them to see their impact in action. ? Share their stories Bill Gates once shared that giving is “contagious” and that donors’ stories inspire others to give generously as well. Ask your donors why they give. What’s their story? Then share it—along with your gratitude for their generous support—on your website, social media pages (make sure you tag the donor!), and in publications. Bottom line: a listing of one’s name and donation amount doesn’t inspire generosity in others or foster a relationship with current donors. Lead the way in finding creative outlets to honor donors and celebrate their impact! By Colton Withers
