We all like to feel appreciated and that includes your donors. Thanking your donors should be a priority for your nonprofit organization. Is that the case? Unfortunately, the answer is usually no. Thanking your donors is not just something you do after you receive a donation and then do nothing for a while. You need to show gratitude all year round and with Valentines Day coming up, thats a great opportunity to thank your donors and show them how much you appreciate their support.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
