Why it works

Gratitude,at every gift level.

A tax receipt is a document. A handwritten card is a thank-you. Donors can tell the difference, and their second gift reflects it.

Donor card
01

First-gift acknowledgement

Reach new donors within 72 hours, in the development director's own handwriting.

Stewardship
02

Major gift stewardship

Reserve heavier stock and longer messages for the relationships that warrant them.

Reactivation
03

Lapsed donor reactivation

A note reactivates lapsed donors at rates email cannot approach.

Volunteers
04

Volunteer recognition

The people who give time notice being thanked as carefully as the people who give money.
