You may think youre practicing donor engagement by sending thank you letters and newsletters, but is the content actually engaging? Its often formulaic and just downright dull. Many nonprofits send all their donors the same appeal and thank you letters. In these letters, they never thank a donor for their past support or acknowledge theyre a monthly donor.

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.

One of the main reasons fundraising is hard is the Curse of Knowledge: You know al lot more about your cause and your organization than your donors. And that knowledge puts you out of sync with donors. You over-explain. Under-emote. Focus on processes and details that donors are unlikely to care about. This is a built-in challenge. All fundraisers face the Curse of Knowledge.
