EP 63: Growing through Gratitude: How to Host a Thank-a-Thon

Send us Fan Mail🙏Are you ready to turn ‘Thank You’ into revenue? 📈Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things human beings can do for each other, and one of the most effective ways to gain, retain, or reconnect with donors!  Setting aside time to let your donors, current, new, or lapsed, know just how much their support means to your organization just makes sense! No one likes to feel like a bank, but that is how many donors feel when the only time they hear from you is when you are soliciting donations.  Saying thank you in a sincere and personal way will show your donors that you don't just see them as a source of income, but rather as partners in achieving your nonprofit's mission. And when donors feel truly valued and appreciated, they are more likely to continue supporting your organization (even when you don’t make the ask 😉).Join Cara and Jena for a step-by-step guide to hosting a Thank-a-Thon, and discover what instilling an authentic attitude of gratitude into your donor relationships can do for your cause, stewardship, and bottom line. In addition to the in-show expertise we also have four excellent  blogs to guide you through, you can find them here on our Donorbox Nonprofit  blog: 📑How to Host a Thank-a-Thon:https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/thank-a-thon 📑Thank You Quotes for Donations to Convey your Gratitude:https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/thank-you-for-donation-quotes 📑Ten Ways to Thank Your Nonprofit Donorshttps://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/10-ways-to-thank-your-nonprofit-donors And of course, how to thank your volunteers (with a free downloadable template):📑 How to Write a Volunteer Thank You Letter:https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/volunteer-thank-you-letters The Nonprofit Podcast is available every Thursday on all your favorite podcast platforms, so follow, rate, and download so you never miss an episode:🎙️ Apple Podcasts: The Nonprofit Podcast on Apple Podcasts   🎙️ Spotify: The Nonprofit Podcast | Podcast on Spotify 🎙️ Buzzsprout: https://thenonprofitpodcast.buzzsprout.com   🎙️ Amazon Music: https://amzn.to/3oppTeO    Find out more about Donorbox at: https://donorbox.org/    DO YOU have a question?
