Are donors passionate about
advancing your mission?

To ensure that your fundraising efforts are successful, 
you 
must cultivate a donor base that cares as much 
about your mission as you do. 

Building donor relationships means communicating consistently with donors, not just when you're requesting donations. Like any other successful relationship, nurturing positive donor communications is crucial to your success.

Through regular feedback and progress updates about
your mission and fundraising goals, you’ll help donors
understand how their donations not only impact your
organization, but also benefit the community,
and donors, themselves.

Whether you’re searching for new donors, or looking for
ways to improve existing donor relationships, you’ll help
ensure your success by knowing the right methods to follow.
