I always like to emphasize the importance of keeping in touch with your donors throughout the year. I hope that’s a priority for you, too. Your donors want to hear from you and don’t just want to be blasted with fundraising appeals. The good news is that better donor communication (thank yous and updates) can help you raise more money. This is especially important if you’re falling behind in your revenue goals.
