I’m a big fan of communicating by mail. It’s more personal and your donors are more likely to see something they receive in the mail, as opposed to any type of electronic message you send. Plus, people never get nearly as much mail as they do email and social media messages. Electronic communication is good, but communicating by mail is better. Now you might say – “But mail is too expensive.

Only about a quarter of nonprofits have an email welcome series, according to our research in the Nonprofit Communications Trends Reports. That’s a shame because a nonprofit email welcome series is a great way to get early engagement with new subscribers (in other words, getting them to click on those first emails). That signals that they really do belong on your list and want your content.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Planned gifts initiated by donors are excellent opportunities for your nonprofit. Perhaps a longtime donor who’s particularly interested in estate planning reaches out to tell you they’ve created a modest bequest for your nonprofit, or maybe a major donor asks to discuss setting up a charitable gift annuity as part of an updated financial plan. Great news!
