Rarely online these days, big-hearted friends. Much prefer cheering you on and celebrating your do-gooding wins from the offline sidelines instead. ๐๐ผ
You know that frustrating, OMGRRR!!feeling you get when you reset your password and the robot says โyou canโt use that one because youโve used it a gazillion times alreadyโ?Thatโs how donors feel when they get your basically the same thank you letter for the umpteenth time too.
Zhushed up an appeal for a fave nonprofit today, and when I sent it back, I reminded the fundraising team that conversational is the new professional. Don't get me wrong, formal writing has its place. Buuuut, relatability wins the day when donor connection is where we play.
I've spent hours every day this week writing and recording mini gratitude messages to donors for multiple nonprofits. Do I cut and paste? No. Do I recycle content? No. Do I give the same amount of love and thought to every darn one? Yes. Donors aren't herds, they're hearts.

listening to @Markyphillips chat with @ShanonDoolittle talk about his latest #COVID19#coronavirus donor research - the number 1 thing they are hearing is donors are saying they arenโt being asked. At all. :|

Ladies, gents, fantastical human beans...today's the day! Our beloved @johnhaydon's wonderfully wonderful book on donor care is out. If you knew John, you knew how much he cared about people and he pours that love into this book on donors. Snag it now! https://t.co/AbAWvL8EyF
My world, our world, is forever changed. You are loved, you are light, and you are legendary, @johnhaydon. Thank you for being everything right and good in this world. Rest easy, my beautiful friend.
@marcapitman@seattledrury Beyond bummed Mike and I missed you, Marc. The good news is you had zero chance of getting the flu, shingles, or the coronavirus (kidding on that last one) from our fam. So glad you got to see Chris, Peter and other gems though!
