It’s not a donation; it’s a relationship
There's a good chance your organization accepts donations online.
And hopefully people are actually giving.
That's a big help funding the mission, of course.
But there's something even more valuable there:
A relationship.
Someone has just told you quite clearly that they value your work. They've also told you their email address, and probably their name and location.
So here’s a thought:
Take a look now and then at the content of your online donation receipts. It’s a chance to turn someone’s genuine interest into something much more than a donation.
This could be the start of a beautiful friendship, if you let it.
All the best,
A.
