Year-End Giving: Renewing or Refreshing?
Your donor acquisition program is shaped by the nature of your cause or charity. Do you have members? Is a single, passionate idea the primary driving force behind your mission? Do you have grateful clients — individuals whose lives your organization has changed for the better? Do you have “alumni” in whatever form? What are the core characteristics of your true believers? Understanding the character and parameters of your organization and then applying this knowledge in a strategic way will yield the right program for you.
