Engaging members on social media is crucial for deepening their involvement. Learn how to engage and retain members with these socially savvy strategies.

Your nonprofit fundraises to further your social good impact, but have you ever considered how your fundraisers impact the environment?

Consider the following ways you can make your operations greener, all while maximizing donations, boosting donor retention, and increasing ROI for your organization: 

Your donors are what make your mission possible. From simply keeping the lights on to making an impact in your community and beyond, your donors make it all happen. Showing your thanks for their generosity in meaningful ways is crucial for keeping donors engaged, retaining their support, and scaling their gifts over time.

Appreciation events are a great option for your staff and board to connect with donors in new ways, beyond the traditional thank-you notes and phone calls (which are, of course, still necessary!). From treating donors to a fun outing or activity to publicly recognizing them for their support, these thank-you event ideas make your donors feel appreciated and help boost their long-term commitment to your cause.

Imagine that your nonprofit is gearing up to run a text-to-give fundraiser alongside your upcoming fundraising gala. You want to encourage supporters to give to your cause, but you’re not sure what type of messaging will be the most effective to engage donors and spur action. 

If this sounds like a scenario you’ve been in before, don’t worry! Rather than guessing what type of content will resonate with your supporters and push forward your fundraising goals, leverage A/B testing to make informed decisions. A/B testing is a powerful tool that enables nonprofits to experiment with different versions of texts and assess which one will perform best.
