2 Ways to Loose a Donor
1. Don’t thank them.
If we fail to thank people, we can rob them of the joy of giving. Donors who are not thanked can easily feel forgotten and some might find other ways and places to give their funds.
2. Don’t update them.
Donors are investors and any wise investor wants to know what is happening with his investment. In the financial work, an investment is merely a financial transition. In the Christian setting, giving is an investment in the Lord’s work and donors need to know how their gift is making a difference.
For practical advice and proven techniques on how to cultivate your donors and keep them on your team, be sure to get the 6-hour People Raising DVD/Video training program available at http://www.peopleraising.com/tools.cfm#dvd
