I hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe. Please wear a mask and practice social distancing. Summer is often a quieter time for nonprofits, although I don’t need to tell we’re not having a normal summer. You don’t want to be too quiet and ignore your donors. In fact, this is a good time to do some relationship building. You may be holding back because of the pandemic and economic downturn, but you actually want to communicate more with your donors right now.

Meeting face-to-face is so important, most major gift officers' job performance is measured by how many in-person meetings they have, in addition to how much money they raise.
